I cut the head off of the aluminum bolt, beveled the cut and cleaned the thread with a die. I cut two 1/8" parallel grooves in the bolt to receive the latch.
The latch is made from fairly soft 1/8" aluminum. That allows me to bend the tip to make a final adjustment.
Cutting through the side panel is the hardest thing to do. I drilled a hole outward to locate where I wanted the center of the switch.
I drilled lots of tiny holes inside my lines.
Connect the dots with the drill, file the edges to fit.
Just like it was always there
