 Old thread, but I wanted to post a thought.

There is a steel plate behind the center stack but in front of the heater. It is a stressed member and is fastened between the cowl and drive tunnel. If you are experiencing cowl shake inspection of that member is warranted.

During my restoration I repaired a fatigue crack in mine. If it had proliferated further the plate may have failed and I would have seen cowl shake.

Make certain the fasteners are secure as well. If the plate is in good shape and tightly secured, I doubt there will be any cowl shake.
