Cowl Securing ???

[Andy Greene]

Neodymium rare earth magnets totally rock. B)

I was looking here-

http://www.rare-earth-magnets.com/magnets.htm

And was wondering, could the "rod type" magnet be used on the forward end of the cowl with the " flat block type" magnets used under the lip of the deck, then a pair of flat block style on each rear corner ??? once in position I could notch the flat part of the magnets under the cowl on each side to properly align the front of the cowl.

Another place to get these magnets is here: www.kjmagnetics.com

If you look at the ring magnets in there product list and scroll down, you will see them in pairs. The pull force on the 3/4" ring magnet is over 33 lbs compared to the ring magnet from Magcraft at 5.8 lbs! I ordered some of these from KJ Magnetics for holding my sport 40 and scale cowls in place. I don't think there is too much that will knock these things apart. The only thing now is, I don't know how I'm going to get the cowl off after the race :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Me and my daughter had a grand time playing with them prior to install and with the left-overs :lol:

You could flip and spin the round one's with the longer round magnet from underneath a 3 inch wood table :huh:

If you used the whole pack, you could get it dancing pretty well
