Cessna 180 LH cowl flap just cracked along the left side and makes it impossible to close because it gets hung up on the cowling. So I'm looking at getting a new cowl flap $$$ but saw that some used ones have the same gouge mark on the left side of the flap just like mine (see ebay link). Now when I buy a new one, I don't want it to just get rubbed through and crack again.
Are my cowl flaps misaligned or is there nothing I can do about this?
Can a doubler be riveted on the back to save mine or am I doomed to buy another?
Headed to the hangar in a bit to uncowl and I can get better pictures.
