MHz sells some. I bought a couple at 35.00 but have not installed them yet. They also have some here at ose if they are in stock. Also check eBay and tower hobbies.

Hi,

I wouldn't use these on FE boats, I think its difficult to get them water proof. I'd recommend to use countersunk screws. for the HPR06 four M3 screws are enough.
Up to now did this on several boats including some HPR's anc I can recommend it. You may also see some photos in my HPR building thread or in HPR Mania 2011.

Best regards,
Manuel

I use these. Got them at a LHS and found they are amazingly well made. hard anodized made them scratch resistant. I really love its so called titanium color.

Sadly the paint on my ct04 is more important than a little water getting in. I always have rescue boat ready and there is plenty of flotation in there anyways. I just thought about that the other night if I had to get a diver out I would likely ask him to not scratch the PAINT!!! HA

Using hatch locks doesn't mean you can skip the taping before get the boat in water, they just help the hull survive in case the hull flys and then hit the water.

I've got a brain fart....what does LHS stand for? I like that hardware!

Hello,

I glue knurled nuts in there.
Here a link how they look. In a few minutes I'll also post some photos of the HPR135 with the hatch lock where you might see them.
