Brief Description:  Fitting the Latch Fingers 1

Still waiting for the side skins. Time to do the latch fingers. These are difficult to see and photograph. But what I did was hold them with fingers in the position and close the latch. Then I used a scribe thru the drill holes to make a mark anywhere on the finger.

I removed the fingers and moved the mark to the center line and drilled one hole.

Then I installed with clecoes and checked the fit. It was pretty good. I match drilled using the other hole. Then I enlarged the holes to 1/8 and finally to 3/16. The latches are pretty bumpy and I'll have to smooth them later with a file.
