It sounds to me like there are two things being discussed under this same
subject line... one is latches for a side entrance door and the other is the
wing cutout 'flop'. On 41CC, the wing cutout flop comes up to the in-trail
position if left alone in flight and has very simple slide latches on the
underside of the trailing edge to keep it from lifting up to reflex.
Nothing complicated.
However, here's a thought (untested; just an idea). How about those
spring-loaded roller ball latches that are used for closet doors and bifold
doors? One of those on each side of the flop would be plenty of resistance
to hold the flop in place, yet a push upwards would pop the flop and let Pop
hop without a bop on his top ;o) And they are available in brass finish,
too...

Tom,
I would not replace the valve seats unless there are damaged or loose.
Just check the valve guide wear and replace valve guides if needed.
You can re-use existing valves if they are not worn out, just clean them up
real good.
Just re-grind / lap the valve and valve seats, you can do this yourself ,
with some lapping compound and tools from a auto parts store.
I choose to replace all moving parts, springs, retainers, stainless valves
and some of the valve guides.
Suggest you get a copy of Richard Finch's book on Corvair, it describes the
overhaul process more clearly than GM' shop manual (green book)
Plus it clearly shows what not to do with valve seats!
Hans

I need to know the distance (gap) between the aileron first rib and the wing.
The Sky Scout plans show 1/2". Same for the Air Camper? Thank you. Saludos
