Thank you Phillip
I was talking to jjjjack today about how the curtains are attached at the ends. We were discussing whether or not the bottom corner of the side curtains mounts under the male end of the leather strap (between the snap and the side of the bus).
I have been studying the 1957 westy literature.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated

| Down to the wire now. What's the plan for the fridge cabinet? Did you manage to track a Silo down? |

I ended up blowing up the westy brochure and scaling the ice box and just making a cabinet the same size. I know it's not correct. I don't know of anyone that has the correct ice box or cabinet that would be correct for my kit.
I also have been trying to track down some information on the propane bottles that go behind the cabinet.

| I'll bet your interior smells heavenly. That hurricane rain should be a perfect test. You've built quite the "cosy beedrom". |

I am almost done. I feel a weight has been lifted.
Cabinets are all in......finally
Went and picked up my curtains today. Kris knocked it out of the park. I am so happy with her attention to detail. Check out the lines from one curtain to the other.

Any luck on the propane bottle? A few years ago I came across a red bottle for an early Westy propane stove which I sold to someone in Canada,but in the same parts buy there was an odd small white bottle which the seller also told me it came out of a Westy though he said a later bay one.
