= ; In the new issue of L'info-Falia, the IWCCC's newsletter, there is an
ad for a "RAKAWEST" bike rack.  This rack connects to the right end= of the
rear bumper in a manner not readily discernible from the pictures.  = ;The bikes
are carried on an arm that keeps them centred in front of the rear hatch= .  
The arm can be swivelled out of the way so that the rear hatch can be op= ened.
 Sort of like the bike racks that attach to the trailer hitch by th= e arm is
curved and the attaching point is to the far right.  Ad says: Estet= ique, Very
Light, Easy to Install, Carries a few bicycles, Variable Angles, Custom = Made,
Made in Quebec, Westfalia Exclusive, Removable in less than one minute, = Made
on Orders, Spring Delivery, Developed for '88 ~ '97 Westfalias, $550 CND= .
