Somewhere in that neighborhood.

You won't know the difference if its a quarter inch either way. The pull rod is infinitely adjustable.

Just did this myself last week. Looks correct to me. I found the small "joggle" on the straight, outside edge side of F-607 to be incorrect.....but doesn't cause a problem other than cosmetics. The most outside straight edge could be longer, and the short side that butts up against the inside of the skin could be shorter.....I actually cut a new F-607 out of some scrap 1/8" stock I had laying around....I'm far too meticulous, and I drive myself nuts.

Talking Thank Gawd for this forum

It is so hard to do this stuff by yourself, it so good to have someone or peeps as are on here to at least run this by them.

I will be making this cut soon as well and thank all for their input.

Good luck and " Cut the dammed thing!" lol

Default Put down the cutter and consider ...

Any alternative to THIS part, vendor, model, style?

If there is an alternate, would I consider it before making THIS cut?
If I make THIS cut, and find out later about the alternate, will I regret not considering it, or has THIS cut precluded a change of parts?

I learned after THIS cut about JD Air (and the canopy latch for RV's) and decided to install JD's latch instead, requiring a removal and rework of the Vans designed version. Consider doing it twice, or maybe once the JD Air way. (VAF Advertiser) ... right margin of homepage.

Just a thought before you 'efficiently and accurately' perform the wrong operation and have to open the patient again.(PS: I have no financial or other interest in JDAir.)

And, in an example of thinking not one or two steps ahead, but all the way...I was going to install the JD Air latch, but according to Classic Aero (at that time), it would have *precluded* using their interior side panels, which wouldn't have fit *at all*. Would have made a much larger problem later had I done it. (These are the Classic Aero Aviator panels from a couple of years ago which were all one part, not the new ones).

Think ahead, and if there's a concern, call the vendors with questions.
