Hi all,
As an owner of a hopped up, souped up C170 actually '53 C180 I have been searching your posts for the info that the 170 Club has on installing rotary latches in the door latch assy. Our info from the 180 Club is real sketchy and although I think I have the parts I can't make out the info as it has been copied so much. I see where several of you have done it and I'd like to talk to someone who has done this and maybe is in or close to Arizona. I hesitate to cut on things until I'm sure I have all the resource info I can get. However I sure would like to get this done pretty soon.
Anyone with experience and any directions, prints ect I'd surely appreciate it.

John D. Benham has an STC for this mod. Perhaps he might part with the instructions if you contact him.

Do you have the contact info for this guy?

He's listed in the membership directory. Or, you may contact me via PM. (I do not wish to publish a person's personal contact info on the WWW without their permission.)

Thanks for the info, I just had a great time talking with Mr. Benham out there in Tx. What a peach of a guy. It turns out that his STC covers the C180 and he has kits ready to go. I look forward to meeting with him someday soon.
thanks again, I'm on track now!
