Yes, I have a DXF of the hatch I'm willing to share, PM me your email address. FYI it doesnt have any of the mounting holes, its only the outline. I did this on purpose so that I could test fit it and drill the holes in-place for the hinge and latches.Nice. Do you have CAD files or something like that that you might want to sale or share? Very interested in replicating with your permission of course. It looks outstanding.
Also noted, my hatch has slightly more overlap than a standard hatch. I did this on purpose for better waterproofing, and I'm happy with the results.
The hinge was made with McMaster Carr p/n 15665A615, most of the fitting was done by hand (making templates, grinding, drill press, etc). The slam hatch was made from a few pieces of angle iron and bar welded together. No CAD for this, I just eyeballed it, cut it, and welded it.
