RV-8 Canopy catch

[p51dplt]

I'm looking for a canopy catch for my -8.
What have you guys been using and how do you like them? Where can I get one that is simple to install and works well?

+1 on Randy's suggestion. I have two "hooks"; one for halfway and one that holds the canopy open a few inches for air circulation when parked.

Sliding canopy Latch

I used the vans model. It requires drilling holes in the canopy slide rail but you can make as many positions as you like. Very handy.
