Hi,

I read that a few owners of 701s have fitted fore and aft latches to the bubble doors, both for door security and draught exclusion.

I have acquired the 750 drawings for the basic idea but wonder what material for the fore and aft push/pull rods (75Z2-2 and 75Z2-6).  From the drawings they do look solid bar.  I would be interested to know what others have used for the push/pull rods.  Aluminium or steel?

Additionally, any photos would be gratefully received.

Thanks

Richard

Hi Richard

                     The drawings show 4130 steel my colleague need to make a set of latches in near future and is thinking a third latch at the front of door would be a good idea 

Do not archive

Thanks Stephen.  We have the central one at present but are planning to fit a forward and a rearward latch.  This will not only secure the door better but will prevent/reduce draughts from where the door gapes in flight.
