Why certainly, Walt. The local Woodworker's Store here in Cleve. hadthose finger pull latches in both circular and square shapes. I chose the circularones.Mostly found at refinishing shops, furniture making supply stores, orwoodworkingcatalogs. The only finger that works with mine are my pinkeys, but that's okw/ me :)PS- The catch (excuse the pun) to installing those brass pulls in a flushmannerhowever can be traced to your purchasing or borrowing the proper size Forstnerbitto recess the plywood to accept those babies. for Mike C.,I've seen and envied pictures of your cockpit for along time now.

I haven't seen the pictures, but you just described the latch I bought formy Christavia. I got it from Lee Valley, here in Calgary. They sellspecialized tools for woodworking, gardening, etc. The also have a fullline of brass hardware inclufing heavy duty brass latches, extruded brasshinges, etc. They are both in Canada and the US. Check out:http://www.leevalley.com for more info.KenOn Wed, 14 Apr 1999, walter evans wrote:> for Mike C., I've seen and envied pictures of your cockpit for along> time now.
