Can you identify this latching mechanism?
I am getting back into RC after being gone from it for about 20 years. I am completing a large scale B-25 and need some nice looking mechanisms for a latch removal system where I plan on putting the Lipos. These hatches will be on the bottom side of the nacelles.
I have one of these latches. Need two. It is a quarter turn mechanism that can be custom cut to length. Anyone recognize this or know where I can get something similar. I have thought about Camlocs from full size aircraft.... |

 BTW, the steel pin looks like about an inch long. Not sure if there were different sizes. - Norm |

Try online auctions, or post to a few forums, you may find someone holding onto them. You could also replace those latches with magnets.

 I really can't use magnets on this particular latch because it is being mounted underneath the nacellle. needs to have a positive lock. |

NP, I do have another suggestion on replacing if it falls through.

I'll draw up an idea I've got tonight, shouldn't be hard to implement and someone probably already makes something similar.

Sorry, I have not been stuck between working and rebuilding my model. I'll try to whip something out today though.
