[QUOTE="Mojo, post: 330049, member: 2642"] I put the hatch lock and hinge on the electronics bay door this morning. It actually took alot longer than I thought it would. I had to redesign the back of the door and remove one of the square braces and use some angle and brackets to reinforce it back up. Then putting in that stupid hinge. That was a mega pain, I couldn't get it in flat or it screwed up where the door sat too much and left a huge gap on the left. I decided to place the hinge tabs between the brace's and the skin. It looks alot better than stuck right on top of the door.. even if it did take alot more time to implement. All in all i'm pretty happy with it. I'm going to make a bracket to fit over the hole I cut in the brace for the latch to catch. That hole is kinda raggedy looking cause i couldn't get a good angle on it to cut it out. But not today.. I've done enough I think I'm gona take a Sunday afternoon nap. Back side.. you can see that sloppy hole cut.
