>>>>>>have a Canadian Westfalia that does not have the drain board that comes down over top of the stove. It only has the heat shield bolted to the lid. I have purchased a drain board and hinge from thesamba, but am a bit at a loss what keeps the drip tray "up" out of the way when cooking. I think it has to be something (after lots of googling...) that is called a "bullet catch" or a "ball catch". Lee Valley has one: *Can someone with a non-Canadian Westfalia confirm what actually holds the drip tray up out of the way. If this isn't what I am looking for, any information would be greatly appreciated, even a photo if it's an obscure item. Better yet, if it's not a "bullet/ball" catch, if someone has spares they would part with (for $$), let me know.<<<<<<<
