The door is quite simple. I took a small piece of 2ply prepreg and made a piece that can be bolted to the BH with 4 nutplates. It extends slightly above the BH. It has a piano hinge that attaches to the upper half. This is formed to match the inside of the fuse at that point. A small spring makes it flop forward. The latch is a sliding plate which catches a pin made from a cut off bolt. It is pulled by a length of left over rudder cable. It is located by nylaflow and cable ties in ClickBond cable tie bases. The loop is simply cable looped back on itself and crimped. A bit of heatshrink in the loop segment prevents frays from hurting fingers.
