Door Catch LH side

Post by Poncho73 »

I'm looking for the left door catch I believe part number 0411552. Mine has worn/fractured at the pivot pin. Anyone have one or know where I can get one? Aircraft is in the Toronto area. Thanks

Well, I finally gave up and made my own door catch..(I did manage to find a new one for $510.00, they would give to me for $300.00 - forget it!!) Anyway, about three or four hours of labor plus an old scrap piece of hard teflon, this is what I made. I will install tonight and if I'm lucky it will not need much adjustment to work.

I installed the catch assembly last night and it worked perfectly. One minor adjustment to the door post receiver and I was done. See pictures attached.
