Hi Gang ! I am about ready to tackle the job of constructing the baggage bay CAFE style doors, I think it's called.
Would like info on, hinges, frame,locks ETC. I have an 05 Eagle and have/will be using 1/8 inch marine grade (Semper Fi) aluminum for the skin ...Thanks in advance Ken.

Hi Ken, I have 05 Eagle also. We (JJ) built a 1" x 1" box frame (steel) and skined with 20ga paint lock, welded the corners. Then we used 1" SS piano hinges pop-rivet to frame. The normaly closed door is held in place by top and bottom spring latchs and normal RV round lock and tab for the other door. Add weather stripping inside
and astrical on back of center.
Mike

Ps JJ I'm back from CR for 1 month :-)

Hi Mike, What are you doing back in Costa Rica? Find me an LBFM, and I'll be down. Is "C" with you, and BTW, where's the Eagle? Still locked up? Cheers...JJ
