Actually there were two original ones, one made by Volkswagen and the other
by Westfalia (but still sold by VW under VW's own part numbers). They look
similar but not identical.  German buyers could get either, but U.S. buyers
only got the VW produced one.  We import this from Germany ourselves, and it
is the more rare Westfalia made version.  Chris correctly noticed that it
splits into 3 pieces, rather than 5 like the VW version.

There really isn't much to it attaching it, nor is the hardware visible
unless you are lying under your van. The original used ten 6x25 fillister
head bolts and six 6.3x19 screws, with associated washers and cap nuts. None
of the hardware is VW specific, and most people just use whatever they can
pick up locally or find on their workbench.
