Tip: Oil Door with no Outside latch

Oil Door
Steve,
Is that the Lancair setup or did you make it up yourself? If yours, where did you get the pull cable and how did you attach it to the end of the latch pin? I have the same latch but the end is closed at the cable attach point. Beautiful setup.

Also, where did you get the latch? That's pretty neat.

Oil door hinge and latch
Steve very nice installation job and finish.
We are currently working on a hidden latch to go with our hidden hinge also. If anyone is interested in the hidden latch, send me a email and I will let you know when they are ready to ship.
The hidden oil door hinge is located at:

Nice work!
Oh too much work for my lazy self, but looks great. I'm putting on some flush locks at the door, call it good.
I thought about it but have a pressure plenum which complicates a reach-in door release. If I did not have the plenum I might try it.
I drew up this simple inexpensive hidden relase (through right cowl inlet) using piano hinge.
Nice Work!

The latch looks like this one:

Kinda pricey. Am researching auto applications for small cars' fuel door latch. Should be able to pick one up at the "Pick 'n Pull more economically....
