380: Escape hatch replacement

[CruiserAD]

Hi again

questions over questions around a second hand L380 (2004)...

The escape hatches are looking "tired" and might need replacement. Ist this a big task? Has anybody done that already? Are the original hatches still available or would anything else also fit?

Thanks and best regards
Jan

It's hard to tell from the pics if you need whole new frames or not. If the frames are salvageable, then go here, https://hatchmasters.com/, for all the parts you will need to restore the hatch. Talk to Tony if you need to, he's a wealth of info and a nice guy.
