Mine has a lever and pin mechanism attached to the latch rod behind the mid-canopy brace/bulkhead. The pin fits into two different holes in the rollbar; one position is canopy cracked open about 6" on left side ( enough to let your arm out for turn-signals) and one is nearly full open. Uses the latch lever to insert/retract the pin. I thought it was Vans equipment. If you would like to see some pictures, email off-list, and I'll take some pics today. I'll also look thru the builders log and drawings, see if there's a blueprint or something John DeCuir N204CP, RV-4 SNS, CA do not archive ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 09:11:31 AM PST US From: Texan4ft@aol.com Subject: RV4-List: RV-4 List --> RV4-List message posted by: Texan4ft@aol.com Address change please!
