Colin.

Is the driver's hatch a two part clamshell arrangement? The recent photos posted suggest the assembly you just completed would be a lower portion that would be opened last and closed first, with a heavier angled upper door lapping over it in the closed position.

If so, does the lower door simply rest open by its own weight, or does it lock open and closed? I suspect a counterweight system of some sort will be part of any upper hatch setup. It would be quite a head flattener otherwise.

Must be quite a turning point for you now, actually thinking about instruments and other internal fittings.

Cheers,

David
