REFLECTOR: Source for oil door parts

[Peter Braswell]

Guys,
Thanks a bunch!  Don, I like your 'D' shaped door.  I'm going to completely
steal that! :)

I ended up doing a bit more searching and I found a latch from Wicks.
 Still scratching my head why AS&S doesn't carry them, but whatever!

Best,
-Peter
