Mine are screwed into the firewall with wood screws, and are epoxied AND riveted to the cowling halves. I used regular flush aircraft rivets (not pop rivets) on 1.5" spacing. If flush rivets make you nervous, you could use the large thin-headed ones as shown at http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/02051831m.jpg . This is how I did it at first, but didn't like the heads showing (even though they are low-height), so I drilled them out and replaced them, and added another flush rivet between each of the existing holes. Rivets allow you to make sure everything is going to line up (using screws or clecos) before you make it permanent. I would not count on flox or epoxy alone to do that job. On another subject, I put a drawing of my fuel system out there at http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/fuel/ ...
