Easy/er way to to it is to get some fender bolts with either a pointed end or 
the really nice ones with the built-in drift pin (self aligning). A couple 
lengths of  precut pvc tubing with a half a rubber ball glued to either end 
for "struts" and a pair of soft rubber corner wedges to keep the bonnet from 
dragging the cowl, and it's a 5 minute job. Esp easy if you have a soft 
rubber coated 1/4" drive   industrial strength, torque settable,  battery 
powered ratchet with the rocker switch reverse as used by Morton Thiokol for 
rocket motor maintensnce.... No air hose to mess with, and doesn;t leave 
scars if you drop it.... only $499 wherever  high-end government  contracts 
are negotiated, discounted to $5 at the local DRMO....
