Subject:      attaching grab handles
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=Windows-1252


After looking at some pics of Westy modifications, I decided to purchase a couple grab handles as I think they would be a nice addition to the van. Below is a link that Joel Walker sent me, (thanks again Joel)!  that shows the location of these grab handles.

I read the cautions concerning drilling into the pillar from the archives, but there was no mention of how the handles actually attach. Does one need to tap a hole or are sheet-metal screws used? If sheet-metal screws are used, I would think that would create a problem with the wires in the pillar. Could somebody tell me what size screws are used, and what type, sheet-metal versus machine, length, etc. do I need to tap holes or what's involved here?


Thanks,


Troy
