Could someone with a digicam and a Westy >please take a picture of the flip down stainless cover over the stove burners >(the drainboard) and email it to me? Haven't got a picture, but to get you started: Drainboard is thin stainless steel with a small raised lip at the edges, a slightly depressed center section and a slot at the sink end to drain. It's just long enough to overhang the sink very slightly. It's formed in an L-section matching the inside of the cabinet lid, with the short leg of the L resting on the stove inboard of the grate. The hinges are about an inch long, tubular and beneath the draining surface. Hinge pin on the after end is simply a longer bolt in the existing hinge; on the forward end is a separate fitting identical to the forward cabinet hinge (pintle half), again with a longer bolt. The short leg has two holes in it that engage spring-loaded buttons embedded in the inside of the vertical part of the cabinet lid. That's all there is... david
