Subject:      84 westy sliding door handle "seal"
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

I've been trying to track down a replacement seal pictured in Bentley 58.2
(exploded along with the spacer and trim ring) for a replacement sliding
door handle (used from Steve Sandlin) on my 84 westy.  It is the actual OEM
long handle for 80-84, not a sawed off short handle for the later
redesigned sliding door.  The handle may be original - POS  on it for good
measure, the used replacement has WTO instead of POS...coincidence?.

Does the seal come with a new handle?

Will any of the list vendors sell me just the seal?

Also, for those of you with the infamous broken POS handle, Steve was
competitively priced and his service was outstanding - I still have one key
for my van.  He also made me water tank keys without the expensive DOM
blanks that work perfectly.
