Has  anyone on the list seen or done the Westy rear
closet converted from the  two hinged doors (front and
side) to a large slider on the side?  This  would
likely serve our needs better.  I recall seeing a
website  where someone had done this but cannot find it
now.

Also, can anyone  recommend a source for matching '87
grey laminate in case we attempt  this?
Close-but-no-cigar substitute from Lowe's will have to
do if  nothing better is available.







Stephen, here's what your looking for > _Westy Rear Closet  Modification_
(http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/closet.htm)    That's my invention and webpage.
You will not  need any grey coloured laminates.  Probably never find the correct
colour  match.  What you do is take the small closet door to your hardware
store  and have them mix a quart of paint to match.  It will be dead on if they
have a colour scanner and mixer.
