I put the cowl half of the hinge on and inserted the wire. It was really tough to insert the wire. i'm using the stainless wire that is smaller than 1/8". I panic and got on RV Forum and asked folks about the ease of installing these in the future. They said:
1. bend them to match the fuselage bend 2. sharpen the tip 3. lubricate them 4. over time they get easy.
I did these and it was instally easy to install them. No problem.
I bent the inside ends and will make a latch for them later.
