Control Panel Going Lose
« on: April 22, 2013, 11:51:56 am »
Hello everybody... I have another question. I own a Dynamo HS-5 cut-corner cab. The thing is that the my control panel latch is not holding the control panel and in the middle of a game it goes lose. The thing is, I cant add any more latches because of some buttons are right in the middle of the latch notches. I've been thinking of pulling the latch a little bit into the cab to add some strength, but before I go into this ordeal I decided to ask?

Do you have any recommendations for this matter? Thanks in advance

Maybe you can put something like a piece of rubber inside the hook part of the clamp to make it pull down better. Maybe layers of old inner tube? Or you could put a spacer on the hole portion where the clamp goes into.

If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.
I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.

It sounds like the latch is a little loose.  I would follow Malenko/GoYouSaluki's suggestions.  Rubber/Plastic might help make the seal tighter or a new latch.  Then I would try moving it back.

The latch could just be best but moving it back can most likely take care of the issue.
If the latch is not back enough, there will not be enough pressure on it and it could release

Thank you all for your suggestions. I'll be moving the latch on the weekend ;)
