bromleyxphil Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Hi Anyone know where I can source the little white two part catch and hook fitting that holds up the gas locker / door open on my Apache 09 Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tracker Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Why not ask Autotrail as they have a spares section and as your van is under three years old you might even get it replaced FOC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 I obtained mine from Auto-Trail although the first set they sent was incorrect for the model and had to be returned. They have a new spares manager now who is not so helpful, clued-up or polite as the previous one. Incidentally they cost me over £20 for 4 so you might find them cheaper elsewhere.

Keithl Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Phil, Try CAK Tanks, they are on catalogue page 93, Item DCT1004 and are £2.25 each. I've had to replace 2 or 3 on the locker doors on our AT. Keith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keithl Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Patricia, They seem to be a standard size and CAK do say in their catalogue "Standard fit by almost all OEM's". If you want to check whether they're right then let me know and I'll measure the fixing spacings for you. Keith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Thank you for the offer Keith but I hope that the second consignment fit - just waiting for my super son-in-law to do the job! Have to say that I have had some nasty bangs on the head from locker doors falling and even worse on my nose! However, I hope I remember to look in their catalogue next time something else goes - I seem to lose bit every time I go on the road this year.

lookback Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 I note that one part of the catch is retained by 2 stainless steel screws and the other half secured by pop rivets. If I drill out the pop rivets what siz self tapping screw will I need Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keithl Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Hi Ian, Probably far larger than will fit through the hole in the catch. This was certainly the case with all I have replaced. To make any future replacement easier I have re-fitted the catches on our MH with 'Riv-Nuts' and M4 or M5 screws (can't remember which offhand) so I can simply unscrew and replace if they break again. You will need a setting tool a bit like a pop-rivet gun to set Riv-Nuts but once fitted you will never have to drill them out again. Have a look on Google for suitable tools and Riv-Nuts. And don't forget to seal the catch to the bodywork so that water cannot get in through the screw hole. HTH, Keith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I am sorry to dredge up this thread again but can anyone suggest where I might get these catches fitted preferably in the Midlands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tracker Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Probably any caravan or motor caravan dealer / repair business? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
