Are these the type of fasteners used on some aircraft cowlings? Where can they be sourced? Can they be made water tight? I am new to strip building and have not had much success trying to solve this problem. Sealing them may not be a problem if mounted outside the gasket, then you would only have to seal the part mounted in the deck.
