Hinged inspection panel -- where can we get one from?

Post by Nick Allen » Wed Oct 28, 2015 12:45 pm

Our aircraft has a 5 inch diameter circular hinged inspection panel, the kind with a central push button to open them. Or at least it should do -- the latching mechanism has parted company and made a break for freedom, and the hatch is currently taped up.

Any ideas where we can buy these from? The usual sources don't seem to have them. (We were hoping just to screw in a replacement flap, rather than having to butcher the fuselage to install an alternative.)
