tube 1/2 doors
« on: June 15, 2005, 05:44:34 AM »
i am building some of these this week, any ideas on how to latch the door closed?  right now there will be a tube running up paralell (sp) with the vertical, almost touching the current U bracket that the door latches to and will go above this a few inches.   ???
thanks.

ps. taking a few pics as i go also ;)

Get the old latches out of a junk Trackick and make a small plate to attach them to.

In july's 4wheel and offroad magazine, they installed tube doors on Clampy and have a nice close up shot of the latch mechanism they used...
