Subject: Re Lockable = Cover for the Westy Luggage Rack

Jeanne, before reading the last = Digest I received today, with all the responses, I sent you a p-mail.  Now I'd = like to add a suggestion to the whole list.  If the container hinged in = the front and opened towards the rear, it would be easier to fill, just = by standing on a stool inside the camper.  I am still potentially interested, especially given the $300-400 price quoted in a recent posting.  Still need to make sure my Zodiac 240 would fit = inside, and that shipping to Vancouver wouldn't be too exhorbitant.

  Subject: Lockable Cover for = the Westy Luggage Rack

  I've just come from meeting = with a fiberglass fabricator with whom I =
discussed making a lockable lid for the luggage rack.  = Since most of the =
cost of this = would be in the building of the initial mold for the shell, =
I was wondering if anyone else would be = interested in purchasing one?

  I want the leading edge of = this shell to be rounded so as to minimize =
wind resistance but the shell would have to be tall enough to allow = =
enough room for cargo, probably 10 = inches maximum.  I expect that it =
will be hinged in the front and accessible from inside the van with the = =
poptop up and the window = open.

  Has anybody else thought about = this idea?
