That manual is at (the address will sound familiar...):

ftp://gerry.vanagon.com/pub/propane-manuals-89-westy/

See the files 'Stove Manual 01.jpg' and 'Stove Manual 02.jpg'.

HA!  That key is still available!  I ordererd it recently, the number is
255 070 605. I believe I paid something like $10 CND.  There is no stock at
the Canadian/US warehouses, it had to come from...Germany.  Took about a week.
