M4, M5, M6 as well as M7?

I would bet it's not an STC is it? I would think it would be on the TC, which would make it easier to have installed.

Do the windows still have to be kept shut with the 'pin' or does this mechanism overcentre?

Unless I'm mistaken the strut replaces the slide mechanism, every thing else is the same. I've seen one, but didn't pay real close attention to it.

The window is pulled over centre, however because of forces of nature and force of entry there is still a pin.
On new aircraft there is a much improved pin, and pull handle.

I knew I should have waited a little longer.... Is it retro fitable?

Retro-fitable but a touch of welding to be done.

By the way Wup, nice job on the cut out lower door!

Where is the welding needed, Jeremy?

The new pull handle is an inverted U shape about 1.5" on the legs and 2.5" across the top. the legs are fed through the top of the square channel on about a 45deg and welded/brazed at the bottom.
The catch is a vertical bolt with spring on top that slides in a barrel that is welded/brazed to the square channel. A handle protrudes from a vertical groove.

I have a picture but trying to follow both of the picture posting instructions offered (thankyou) the computer nearly went out the window!!!
