Does anyone know where to purchase the canopy latch parts?

Also my drawings show the bottom bracket for the gas spring  (6-C-2.2) as being 14mm wide.  This seams to narrow, and especially as the drawing shows the stud sticking out 12mm and coming near flush with an edge of the bracket.   Perhaps one of you kit builders could measure yours and tell me how wide it is.  I just spent a laborious hour cutting the steal parts using a hack saw, now I think there might be a mistake on the drawing.   These are drawings dated 1/03.

Thanks.

Dan

My factory 6-C-2-2 brackets are 14mm wide, the stud is 12mm long and it 

extends 5mm beyond the edge of the bracket. Seems to match the dimensions on 

the 01/03 drawing, but is not drawn properly to xcale.  Since I haven't done 

the canopy yet, I can offer no help as to how well this geometry fits.

On this same subject ,what is the striker stud thickness ,part #6-C-2-1. My 

plans make no mention of the diameter of this stud  unless I am overlooking 

it. Thanks

Wade,



The diameter of the stud on my latch measures 0.55" and the disc on the end has a 0.75" diameter.

Wade,

I noticed you're plans building.. Where did you get the latch parts?   I'm still looking for a source.

Dan,



After some research I found the Canopy Latch at SPAE-NAUR Co. in Toronto, 

Canada.

Look at www.spaenaur.com/view_pdf.asp?page=L70

You will need part # 099-030 and 090-031 (right and left).  I ordered mine 

from Windsor Factory Supply about 4 weeks ago...haven't received the parts 

yet.  Phone number is 519-966-2202

Price is $25.29 each, this includes the Striker Stud.

Canopy latches used by Zenith are Eberhard 1-400 L  & R.  Modification is required as per Zenith Drawings.

  

 Look at www.eberhard.com and search rotary  latches.

Malcom,

My thanks too.!

Wade,

What's the source?  All I've found is company's that require a request for quotes.   I've requested the quotes, but somehow don't think they are going to appreciate requests for quatities of ones and twos.  I haven't heard from them yet.
