Might be cheaper than you think. All you need to find is an un-airworthy
cowl.
Searching around the 'Net for used aircraft parts might find you
something quite cheaply.
It's not necessarily that aircraft parts are better, just that the long
paper trail makes them much more expensive. The Cessna hinge Marin
mentioned, and the flush spring button release both of us mentioned are
also probably available from non-aircraft suppliers. Most parts like
these were originally made for the automobile industry in the '40s and
'50s. For example, My understanding is the door release in my Piper is
the same part as a '54 Ford door release.
