That's awfully steep, and probably heavy, for what it takes to keep a KR
canopy shut. I put some latches on N56ML (two total, at the rear) and
N891JF came with a very similar pair, that cost $7 each...just plain
"suitcase latches". I bought mine from McMaster Carr. They are "not
rated" for tensile strength, but I challenge you to pull just one of
them apart with all the strength you can muster. I have proven that just
one of these is good enough to hold my canopy to the airplane at 120mph.

Checking airspeed indicator accuracy is pretty simple. See
http://www.n56ml.com/airspeed_calibration/ . It's important for your
first flight....trust me on this...
