I paid $100 for one of these swivellers a couple of
years ago, sold to me by another very active list
member.  I thought it was a fair price given that they
seemed to be quite rare.  $20 is a steal IMO!  The guy
I bought from does seem to be in the business of
buying and selling VWs and parting them out though
(not sure if he's a bona fide reseller or just a guy
that knows how to make a few bucks on the side).

One question you may know the answer to: I put my
swivel mech. in a 90GL on the passenger side only and
found that the bolt for the battery holddown bracket
is now very difficult to get to.  At the back of the
swivel plate there is (if I recall) some sort of
drilled lip presumably for a  different sort of
holddown bracket.  Is that true - do the westies have
a different bracket?  (writing this at work so hard to
visualize what the setup looks like).

TIA
