I bet the uniWerks site has pictures and descriptions of the plastic used.  His shipping is not expensive and many products are very reasonably priced. 

I have screens on my 85.  I’m tempted to try your trick of drilling one small hole in each screen to help with the drain.  If the Uniwerks screens work better I’ll be popping them in down the road.

I received mine today and popped them in.  They take a bit of force to press in but become nearly flush.  They are a perfect fit.  I used them on my 84 Westfalia.
