I saw this on the door SB thread on VAF tonight. I don’t recall seeing it cross posted to this venue (sorry if it already was) so I thought I’d cross post it here for those that might not read the VAF forums.

What caught my interest though was post #19 on page 2 by John Trollinger

I don’t recall anyone mentioning his approach on the matronics list of a way to operate the SB latch without the exterior protrusion using the stock Van’s door mechanism. It seems pretty clever. One would have to cut a big enough access hole in the door to make enough room to attach the piece. Riveting might be a bit too permanent if you had to remove the door rods but I think the idea has some legs to it. I wonder if it would flex the tube up rather than lift the latch?
