Re Lockable Cover for the Westy Luggage RackAll,

I have a lockable box that fits into a pre-1984 Westy.  If anyone wants to see it go here http://web.tampabay.rr.com/jflemin1/jflemin1.html  I'll be happy to give it to someone who will put it to good use.  Too big to ship, it's in Florida.

  I might be interested in the luggage rack depending on how soon it would become available.

    Jeanne, before reading the last Digest I received today, with all the responses, I sent you a p-mail.  Now I'd like to add a suggestion to the whole list.  If the container hinged in the front and opened towards the rear, it would be easier to fill, just by standing on a stool inside the camper.  I am still potentially interested, especially given the $300-400 price quoted in a recent posting.  Still need to make sure my Zodiac 240 would fit inside, and that shipping to Vancouver wouldn't be too exhorbitant.

      I've just come from meeting with a fiberglass fabricator with whom I = 
    discussed making a lockable lid for the luggage rack.  Since most of the = 
    cost of this would be in the building of the initial mold for the shell, = 
    I was wondering if anyone else would be interested in purchasing one? 

      I want the leading edge of this shell to be rounded so as to minimize = 
    wind resistance but the shell would have to be tall enough to allow = 
    enough room for cargo, probably 10 inches maximum.  I expect that it = 
    will be hinged in the front and accessible from inside the van with the = 
    poptop up and the window open. 

      Has anybody else thought about this idea?
