: I built an OI and modified the version that was in the plans. Instead of a
: round wooden wheel to turn the bolt, I used a couple of bike seat post
: bolts, the kind with the lever. The fastener is cammed. Just turn the
: fastener and lock down, the camming action does the rest. I was a little
: concerned with snagging myself on the holddown during wet reentery, but no
: problems so far the the hatches are watertight. Got the seat post locks on
: line for 12 bucks.

That's a very interesting idea :)
