I had the Owen Bell mechanical conversion kit for the rear cowl flaps installed in my 1965 Skymaster. The system was installed by an experienced A&P and works fine. It did take some work to install properly. The T-handle can be be a little difficult to push in (close the rear cowl flaps) while in flight, sometimes I put on the autopilot and have to use both hands. I went this way because I had replaced the follow up cable twice in the past few years. The locking mechanism failed after a few months and Owen replaced it under warranty. I would recommend this system.
