Meshed Inlet Cover (Nose-plug Alternative)

[Johnny U]

These were a gifted to me many years ago and I never used them. The text on the packaging says it will work on 99% of all GA aircraft (see photo). The company has since gone out of business so I can't give you a lot of detail other than what you see on the packaging. Since N9150V has nose plugs already and I need to get rid of things, I will give it to you for free- just pay for the shipping! Package says it is fire-retardant. It seems to me that the nice thing about this is that it will allow the engine compartment to ventilate more efficiently post-flight since it a mesh fabric...

I would love to give them a try on my CAP-10.  No cowl plugs seem to be available.

DM me.  I will gladly pay shipping.

A hangar neighbor had some 3 inch thick expanded polyethylene. 10 minutes later with an electric knife and I had cowl plugs.

Reciprocating or hot wire?

Just a reciprocating, a hot wire would be better.
