Anybody got pictures of one installed? My SO42 no longer has one, and I wasn't aware they were supposed to be there. Didn't see any in the gallery.

I could not find them at Home Depot around me. But I got one at OCTO this year.

Check it out, this guy has one for sale in the classifieds.

Looks like I am going to order them. Anyone got those measurements? Thanks.

Happen to have the Home Depot SKU? Or the manufacturer's part number?

And for anyone reading this thread in the U.K. this exact catch is available from B&Q.

I wish some of the other 'rare' Westfalia parts could be found like that!!

Thanks for the measurements!

Looks like the Rockler part is almost identical.

Quebec is a french speaking province so if you call them you may not have much luck conversing in English..
