I would love some pictures, and an explanation on how to operate them. From the one picture I looked at it looks like there's a small bungee that you pull against? but it's hard to tell...

Thanks for those. Looks pretty straightforward. Looks like you (or someone) added the triangular piece does that help with locking and/or unlocking it? You only have it on one side?

There is parts missing om the mechanism i have the other triangular piece. I have got to machine up some1/2 " delrin rod for the delatch bar. The old stuff got brittle and broke...job in progress. You make some pretty easy if you get some rectangular hollow section AL.I will take some measurements and post them

I think I was able to scale from the picture relatively Ok. I might have to move the slot a bit to get enough engagement on the wand What is the small hole in front of the slot for? I didn't model it yet. I have the slot at 3/8" but you said 1/2" delrin are you turning it down? I just have to figure the location of the 2 mounting holes.

slots on mine are 1/2 inch wide slot is 1 5/16 long pivot is 1/2 " from front slot bottom is 7/8" from bottom of bracket slot starts 4 7/16" from front overall length is 7 3/4 " tip of wand to the rear of slot is 3/4 " tapped hole in back possibly original pivot? the overhang on rear of bracket is 1 3/4" pivot to original bracket is 1 3/8
looks like it may have been made with 1x2x1/8 RHS then had one side cut off? so that leaves 1 7/8 " instead of your 1 1/2 where are you located?

The 1x2x1/8 makes sense. I had assumed they started with 1x1.5x1/8 u-channel so the slot seemed smaller. I'll modify the drawings with the new dimensions. Looking at it, I realize I had the curve on the wand going in the wrong direction, otherwise it won't relatch automatically.
I'm in Indianapolis. Unfortunately the wind at my lake is hit or miss for foiling, that's why I want the delatch to see if it helps. I'm hoping to get up to lake Michigan one of these days.

I think I understood the measurements.
