I have the latch - I need instructions....
Do I need to reinforce the area where the latch strikes? How far from the
striker is it mounted.
Any details with specific numbers would be appreciated.

Ralph-
I did rivet a .040" thick sheet U shaped aluminum ledge along three sides of the cutout in the cowling to both stop the door and give some meat for the latches (I've got two for redundancy) to bear on. I extended it out into the opening about .250" on the three edges and it engages nicely and positively.

Gary,
Do you have any photos? Would a single latch do the job? My oil-door 'lip' is three layers of fiberglass bonded to the inside of the cowl - it extends about 3/8" in the the opening. I have some .040 that I was thinking about adding as a striker plate - but just in the center couple of inches or so.
Your thoughts,
Ralph
