I am pondering whether to use the VANS supplied catches on the oil door.
(Leland / Andy - I know you chose not to.) Of those of you that did are you
happy with the result or do you regret it?
I believe its also the same latch on the glovebox but I just cant see using
it there.

Hi Steve,
I've used a simple flush hartwell latch on both my RV6's, and it's worked
just fine. 150+hrs on the first one and it's still going stron. I like it
much better than the protruding wing camlocks.
Regarding the glove box, I made a flush mount glove box door, and used a
knurled knob that looks like the rest of the avionics knobs. The glove box
door itself from Van's, is less than beautiful, as it's basically a plate
that just slaps over the opening. I didn't like it, so I made a flush door.
You can see it at http://www.steinair.com and click on "N64YU" in the upper
right hand corner of the website.
This is not to say that the Van's stuff doesn't work, it works just fine.
There are thousands of Rv's flying with those camlocks on the oil doors, but
since the rest of the plane is so smooth, I figured why go through the work
of installing hinges on the cowling only to have two protruding camlocks on
the oil door.
Just my 2 cents,
Stein Bruch
RV6's, Minneapolis
