Brief Description: Canopy Latch - Option

Rechecked the instructions, measured again, and nibbled out the opening to fit the new latch. Tested the fit using the 'mounted' latch held against the opening, with very minor adjustments. Will have to match-drill the new bracket on top, and the skin on the bottom. (Retrofitting ... harder than fabricating new.) NOTE - the two 'extra' rivet holes left over from the Vans latch.

Enlarged openings

Test Fit - new latch
