My 83 Westy only had a flap on the front driver side - "they" said it was to prevent stones from hitting the LP tank, but after 18 years it finally fell off. I just bought a new set for all around but will wait until I repaint before attaching them. There are two very different mounting systems and flap designs, BTW. The ones that Busdepot sells as a set are very different than the ones Westfalia put on their conversions. I don't know if one is much better than the other. Dave Richoux |
