Thats what I was thinking, just wanted to be sure.

Lots of folks have that issue. I will search quick to see if I can find something.

I'll post if I find something.

Hate it when that happens. Usually its because I forget to upload the pic.

Thats probably what I will do if/when I face that situation.

I guess that works, but I would have just fished a nut or bolt through the side opening with a wire.

Thanks for the suggestions going to try knocking the nut off with air chisel then fishing a new nut in. If that doesnt work going with the hatch doors.
