Yah, as I said, I have never seen it, but Bentley had a picture, so at least one bus, somewhere has it.

I forget) as it is one of three fastenings that holds the stop block to the body (the other two are fairly obvious bolts) and need not be removed to get the door off. As an aside, I was looking at that assembly last night before I wrote the procedure and boy is it going to be a job to get that screw out on the Westy! Sits right behind the side cabinet. Ouch!
