Airstream Cruisette Diary 7

More detective work.
In numerous spots around our trailer there is evidence of change.  Stray holes here & there, paint "shadows", & widely varied build quality.  An obvious example sits on the closet door:


Its pretty obvious that the current "pinch catch" has not always held that door closed.  Several years ago while surfing "The Ebay"  I ran across these:


The holes line up EXACTLY & the use if this sort of hardware is confirmed in photos at Vintage  Airstream.com: Cruisette 8021
One bid and a couple bucks later they were mine.  Even better, I can now re-use the pinch catch to reconstruct the under-bed compartment door.
