Mar 09, 2007 30 Constructing door latches - old style later changed to an embedded type Category: Door latches
The triple, rotating finger, latches on each door were rather a lot of work to make. Drilling the extended tear-drop shaped aluminum door handle and the latch accurately necessitated carefully positioning them in the drill press and even using a bubble level. The latch handle and shaft are fastened together with a roll pin driven in place after the shaft is pushed through the cabin shell from the inside. The door dogs we cut from stainless and then bent into shape...again a rather difficult process.
