Subject:      Needed: Sheet Metal around key on back hatch??
Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hi gang,

     I'm hoping someone has a parts van that they'd be willing to take a small
body clip out of for me. A would-be thief tried to open my Westy with a pry bar
and trashed the sheetmetal around the lock in the rear hatch. Is there anyone
out there who could cut a (say 5") square of the body metal around the lock hole
so I can weld this piece into my van. I would, of course, be willing to pay for
this favour. I'm fixing the rust and dents on my Westy in a night-school
autobody class (a page out of Marshall Ruskin's book) and it sure would make
things easier if I had an original piece of metal for this spot ---- rather than
trying to fabricate one with my non-existant skills in this area. My van is an
84 ---- which leads me to another question. Fot what years of vanagons would
this piece be interchangeable???

TIA

Cheers,
