bullet catch yes. and while you're at lee valley, get some of the
self adhesive urethane bumpers (hemispherical). lots of uses in van,
and good substitute for the factory bumper on stove lid.

btw, the stock bullet catch on drip tray is, in my westy anyway,
pretty stiff/tight.

Hi,

I have a Canadian Westfalia that does not have the drain board that
comes down over top of the stove.  It only has the heat shield bolted to
the lid.

I have purchased a drain board and hinge from thesamba, but am a bit at
a loss what keeps the drip tray "up" out of the way when cooking.

I think it has to be something (after lots of googling...) that is
called a "bullet catch" or a "ball catch".  Lee Valley has one:

*Can someone with a non-Canadian Westfalia confirm what actually holds
the drip tray up out of the way.

If this isn't what I am looking for, any information would be greatly
appreciated, even a photo if it's an obscure item.

Better yet, if it's not a "bullet/ball" catch, if someone has spares
they would part with (for $$), let me know.

Thanks,
Steve Williams
