I'm trying to decide what is the best latch to use for the access panels
I'm installing in my front deck to make getting at the batteries and
hydraulic power pack a simpler pre-flight task.  I didn't find anything
appropriate in the ACS catalog, but did manage to find a "Flush Latch"
(part number H5000-2, p171 in the 96 catalog under the "Miscellaneous"
heading) in an older Wicks catalog... it looks just like the latches that
are used on the dipstick access doors found on Pipers and other production
aircraft.  I'm curious to know if any of you have used these on your
projects anywhere, or if you have other recommendations for a better or
more appropriate piece of hardware for the task.  Any suggestions or
comments will be greatly appreciated.  TIA
