        Steve, you got it  right.  Those bullet/ball catches are also
available at Home  Hardware.  The holes in the wood lid are already there but may
need to be  modified for the bullet/ball catches you get.

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.<<<<<<<
