Subject:Westy screw caps

<< Are the brown and the white caps for the cabinet
screws still available from VW dealers  ..... or
elsewhere? >>

Recently, while refinishing some interior pieces, I
needed replacements for those little plastic arrow
clips which hold the panels to the sliding-door
interior and tailgate. Found such clips at my local
TrueValue hardware store, and also stumbled upon the
screw caps you mention, in black, white, and brown.
Dunno if they're exactly the correct ones for the
Westy, but they seemed to have a variety of sizes.

Lots of other cool little widgets: thick rubber
washers for mounting the fiberglass luggage rack to
the roof, roll pins for the latch mechanism on the
wing windows, various stainless steel fittings,
grommets for passing electrical wires thru bodywork
bulkheads, etc..

Good reasons to shop local -- when I ask for this
kinda stuff at the Home Depot, all I get is dumb looks
...

"OK, I'll leave it at that since I've already gone on
for far too long about something I don't know a whole
lot about ..."
