I've just joined the ranks of Westy Syncro owners, and I've got few questions. 1) "Wolf Bras" Protecting the front end of the truck from rocks / bugs is pretty high on my list. What brand of "Wolf" bra works best? 2) Roof racks and bike racks I'm think that I've figured out how to mount a roof rack on a Westy (looks like a Yakima bolt on rain gutter, and a long bar Thule / Yakima rack). Any advice on do's / don't when drilling holes in my camper top for the fake rain gutter would be appreciated. I plan on mounting the rack towards the back of the pop top for a roof top box & windsurfers etc. I'd also like to put a bike rack on the nose of my Westy (over a "Wolf" bra). What brands of bike carriers have people had good luck with? 3) Cup holders This vehicle screams out for a couple of really good cupholders (which I've seen in catalogs), but now that I really need one, I can't find them! Does anyone know where to get a good cup holder that works with the Westy's dashboard? Thanks, William wayer@pobox.com '90 Westy Syncro (109K), San Francisco, CA |
