I have been of the opinion that Alon used several different latching mechanisms during there four years of production. This opinion was verified at the convention. I saw no less than three different forward latches when there were only six Alons on the airport. [1] Half-moon shaped solid brackes that had tapered holes drilled into them to recieve mail cones mounted to the canopy. [2] Mine has a folding bracket mounted to the silding canopy. This acts as a "cam lock" when the end is attached to a small "stud" mounted to the bar next to the plastic interior trim. [3] Nothing at all in the front and only the two latches in the rear. Of all the ones I saw, I like mine the best. It is really solid and does not leak any air. The arms are chrome-plated and look good. Since they are attached to the canopy, there is nothing attached to the forward windishield brace. However, I could use a couple of the "Lunch box" type rear latches. Mine seem to very poor replacements from the originals I saw on the other planes. George Frebert Dover Delaware
