Subject:Removing Westy rear cabinet
From:Edward Maglott
Date:Tue, 10 Jul 2001 21:01:09 -0400

I'm working on a project to remove the rear cabinet from my 1986 weekender,
and replace it with the rear cabinet from the 85 Westie. 86 has AC, the 85
does not. The procedure described in the Bentley manual to remove the rear
Cabinet sounds like a nightmare.  Has anyone found an easier way to do this?
It almost looks like if I removed the air-conditioning duct and unbolted the
cabinet I could slide it out to the front.  Except for the air conditioning
stuff in the back portion of the cabinet.

It looks like I'm might have to modify the rear part of the 85 Cabinet to
fit those AC components.  Any advice on this topic?

Edward
