Missing X31 Battery Pack Latch

[kevinc]

The battery pack latch on my X31 is missing. Has anyone experienced this problem or tried to replace the latch? I looked in the Hardware Maintenance Manual but it doesn't seem to be called out as an individual part. Is a new Base Cover Assembly the only fix? Thanks

It should be in the Base Misc Parts Kit 67P1453. There are two parts, the Latch itself is inside the base and the Holder is on the outside snapped on to the latch.

The outside part is different between X30 and X31/X32 but only the location of the arrow. I used a X30 Holder on my X32.

Thanks... The spring is still in place so I may have just lost the holder. If so, is it just a snap on fix?

Yes, it is just a snap in. But you may have to press down on the Latch from the other side.
