 |

Folks,
I am getting ready to install the locking mechanism on my 6A slider. The lock uses the same key as the ignition and the locking mechanisms came with the ignition switch set.
I am trying to figure out where to install it as the side skirt bows out in the middle and the slider rail that the lock bar goes in to is straight front to back. Essentially, there are two installation points (foreward and aft) on each side.
My slider frame is the later version with the square side rails and the slotted/holed-out skirt supports. It looks like the lock mechanism will barely fit through the holes. I also have a Meske Tip-up mod installed and am looking to modify a taxi-latch...the taxi latch may take up some of the forward space that the lock would need - causing me to consider installing the lock at the aft end of the side skirt.
Anyone have personal preferences and reasons for them? Anyone have pictures of your installations...and willing to share.
Thanks,
Ralph Capen

To lock or not to lock , that was my question. I chose to not lock my canopy after I realized how long it took me to make it, about three months. I figured that if someone is going to steel stuff or instruments they can have it but just don't damage my canopy in the process please. Of course everybody has a different opinion and is entitled to it. My thought was to spend the money on a canopy cover and keep wishful eyes out as much as possible. Insurance will pay for the un-lucky time someone just has to be a low-life thief and if I have to pay a deductible that will be less painful than a busted canopy in my opinion.
