I discovered a problem with my hatch. It had a 3/4" twist in it. I managed to get the twist out, boy, was I lucky.

Paul,

I see in your picture you have my two main tools of teardrop de-construction. Yup, a hammer and chisle can fix most anything if you hit it enough times.

:lol:

The frustration really set in after that pic and now the whole thing has gone to hatch heaven :lol:

I chickened out on number 1 but, now I'm committed to having a hatch on number 2. I guess I need the experience :lol:

Cheers
Paul :thumbsup:
