Hidden oil door hinge
Pete, your local "used auto parts mart" (AKA junk yard) has hundreds of them all sizes and shapes! Commonly known as a "fuel door hinge"! Got mine for 3 bucks!!

It's a short length of MS piano hinge and a piece of bent aluminum. Good grief man, fabricate something!

Dan,
Do you find that your single latch does the job? I see some builders with dual latches.

I used a single latch like Dan. Plane has been just over the speed red line with no problem.  Saves a couple of ounces and they all add up!
I subscribe to Bert Rutan's admonition: throw it up-----if it comes down, it's too heavy.
