Phil, Mine is done entirely with Dzuss fasteners, and I love them. I have Dzuss to hold the cowl to the firewall, and to hold the two cowl halves together. For the two years I have flown the plane, I removed the top half of the cowl for each pre-flight without any effort.
Dzuss are also extremely easy to install. Each one holds on a simple S-shaped spring wire, which is held by two screws or two rivets. One pilot hole is enough to get an accurate position of the fastener on bothe the cowl and the support plate. Serge Vidal KR2 "Kilimanjaro Cloud" Paris, France Soon packing for Down Under...

If I use aircraft screws what type of Anchor nut suits the cowl, and would rivets or flox be best to fit them? Piano hinge, did you use rivets or glass to hold them in place???
