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

Peter,

 

I had the same issue that you did. The manual didn't specify what hardware
to use and AS&S didn't have anything.

 

I did much of my training in a Piper Archer, which used a flush-mounted
button to open the oil door. I liked this, so decided to use the same thing
on my XL.

 

Search for:

Piper Oil Door Latch 472-017

 

I found mine on Ebay for $40 plus shipping. This site has them for $42:

It looks like this, when finished. (Hopefully you'll have a cleaner cowl
than this.)

You can also mount them in pairs if you want a larger access panel:

Hope this helps!

Maybe I should have stayed with factory's design. :-(

Hi All,

Can anybody shoot me a link to what they're using for the oil door latch?
The manual indicates that the builder is to source this part.  A quick
search on AS&S wasn't fruitful.

 

Best,

Peter
