ive got a coffeecan full of the 80-84 westy sliding door panel snaps. theyre
the same as the 80-84 westy hatch snaps, and are interchangeable with the pass
van rear interior panel snaps.   the snaps arent anything to worry about.
they can be had.

the doorhandle, thats what you have to worry about.   the 80-84 slider
doorhandle is NLA.   you let the screw work its way out, the handle gets loose and
sloppy, and the handle breaks off,  you will be SOL.
