Default Flush Latches

Hi All,
I am trying to figure out who the manufacturer of the particular flush
latch below, and after MUCH interwebbing have still turned up
nothing.http://www.n523rv.com/fuselage/Cowl%...h%20inside.jpg

It's not a Camloc (none I've run across at least...)
I'm not interested in Hartwells'
Any clues?

These will be for parts I am making which are not direct replacements
so my latch choice is left to my own arbitrary decision process. I
have already tried to email the builder of the RV-10 that latch is on
to no avail (I even joined the vans Air Force newsgroup over the
deal!).

I am also interested in a very similar looking flush latch that is
used on the dorsal hatch on the Genesis 2, but also for the life of me
cannot figure out exactly who made them and what they are called
(Robert Mudd does not know either for that matter...), so if anyone
has any insight on that one it would also be appreciated. Inspecting
one up close is of no help, as the thick speckeled/textured gray
interior coating already covers the latch bodies, hiding the crucial
info. Anyone speak Lithuanian?

Thanks,
Paul


He said he got the latches at B&B. Considering his location, I think
this may be

in Gardner, KS. No web site.
