Forward Hatch Replacement on 1986 #480

[gris-gris]

I've read several posts on this forum. Since I cannot replace the broken latch handles; I hope to find a replacement hatch. I measured the Taylormade original hatch at 16 3/4" x 16 3/4" internal.

This Plastimo (Size 40 Ref: 63887) seems to be close, Has anyone tried it ? Or another replacement hatch ?

Flange frame mm 15

Internal dimensions mm (in.) 421 x 421 (16.6 x 16.6)

External dimensions mm (in.) 481 x 481 (18.9 x 18.9)

Radius mm (in.) 42,5 (1.7)

Weight kg 5.8

The cut out opening is 17x17, suggest buying a flange. The hatch Below will fit with a little shimming, this is from defender. Bomar and Taylormade make one with similar dimensions.
