Slip, slop, slap........
When I looked at the kit that Darrin had made, I discovered that the latch mechanism on Darrins cover is quite different from mine (as were the hinges) So using the original cover as a template, I finished the bracket for the ammunition cover that holds it open in the vertical position.
Three different thickness materials were used in this mechanism, so after rummaging around my pile of scrap steel I found the right imperial thicknesses and am quite pleased with the results.
One of the quandaries with these hulls are the few extra brackets, I think this little latch should have a clip on the ammunition cover to hold it in place when in the open position.
