Rear Hatch Question

[icoulabeenav8]

My original builder never install the hatch cable assy, instead leaving it coiled up for me inside the frame. Looking at the manual(s), it is not clear the exact location of the release lever or the piece of sheet metal it is attached to. Does anyone have photos of the stock location and the p/n of the sheet metal it is attached to?

25920 appears to be the FFR part number. Located right behind the driver's door.

Thanks for the reply, apparently, I will be trying to get it from FF.

You're probably better off just fabricating one out of 040 based on Shane's photo.

It looks like it has a flange in the curve like the nose of a wing rib. A lengthy process.

I may already have these drawn up in CAD and could CNC cut it for you if FFR can't provide one to you.

We round over the leading edge for a better look and fit/seal using some really high-tech tooling.....a plastic mallet and a 2x4 block of wood.

FFR has never shipped a piece of aluminum that required more than a brake to bend. They don't have complex dies or English wheels.
