[C320-list] Inspection Port

[T. Scott Thompson]

I'd love to see the picture, and also a picture of the hinged mount for 
the cover.  That's a great idea, but I'm having trouble visualizing how 
you would mount the engine covers on hinges with enough room to open 
them even a little bit.  The front one maybe, but the rear one seems 
impossible in my mind.
