Cargo pod latches

The latches on my pod are pretty tired, the lower rear one keeps coming loose during flight. I'd like to swap something in that's beefier, these things are quite dainty. Has anyone found a better solution for these?

Re: Cargo pod latches

I installed these! Some not so beefy... But one has a lock!

Re: Cargo pod latches

Having a locking latch is pretty clever. This is a simple minor modification, correct?
