I recently replaced all three access ports on the side of my 1982 Westie with new ones from Euro-RV. I have the old ones if anyone is interested in repairing or replacing theirs. Two of the ports have broken hatch door springs... but the hatches are still intact: that spring design was really bad... the hinge pin was stainless steel...but the springs rust fairly readily and no replacement for just the spring is available. On the new ones, I've packed the door springs with grease. I also have a partially broken faucet that I have replaced.
