you'll need to find someone parting out a vanagon westfalia.. and cut one
from that, and weld it into your own van.  i usually have these but currently
theyre all gone..
i put one on the passenger side of my wolfsburg, and its a nice upgrade..

and yes, it involves welding to install.

i do, however have one from a 79 bus.. (the top piece, and the round plate)
the top piece tracks are the same as the vanagon but the part you weld to your
van is different and will take some modification.. id sell that one cheap.
