>        Alain, it a matter of where you Westfalia was made for.  ALL Canadian Vanagon Westfalia's came with the fixed metal shield, courtesy of your government.  ALL US models came with the fold down drain tray.  IF, you can locate one from a US model it can be fitted.  DO NOT FORGET to get the two spring loaded ball lock mechanisms that are imbedded in the front edge of the wooden part of the sink/stove lid, the holes for these are already in your lid.  They are what keep the metal drain tray in place when you are not using it as a drain try.  You will see them once you remove your fixed backing plate.
