Mike, how about manufacturing some side scoops that go on the rear air inlets?
There are some plastic versions available, I don't like the look.
A member here made some metal ones for himself that followed the body lines really nice. I'd be interested in a pair of those, and I'm sure others would be as well.

A picture of the user Goffoz scoop that has gone missing because it was on an external server:

Don’t that look nice!

The discussion with cutting template:

I’d sure go for a set of these great looking scoops! Numerous people on the discussion also wanted a set, but Goffoz up and vanished.

Bring back the Propex interior locking box for behind the passenger seat!!

I called back in December and was told you didnt sell enough though. The guy thought he had a blank box unit hidden in the warehouse somewhere but I never heard back. Unless someone else has one they want to offload

Hey Mike, would it be possible to make a Rear side slider where the back half used the aluminum window replacement?

I would think for anyone with the Westy cabinet in place, it would be a nice option to hide the back of the cabinet and still have partial use of the window.

I have <cough><cough> shared an idea or two, Mike. Just a few...

The one I've been thinking of fabricating myself is a waterproof, quick-release, fire-extinguisher box that would fit onto those bolts on the passenger's side of Westy meant for another propane tank. A serious, Halon-equivalent fire extinguisher would be there for the rapid deploying immediately. Say, pull a ring, the bottom drops down, the extinguisher is on a bracket on the door, and you are in the fire-fighting business--not just for the van!

Want more? Ask! I... do have a lot of such ideas.

Best!

I am hoping you guys make some door slats to match your bumpers...

The scoops do work. I currently have the plastic ones. I have a 1.8t and my IATs run 10-15 lower on hot days with it then without

Mike and RMW friends,

This is a great thread. We love to see your new creations, keep them coming.
The door storage trays are very nice!

I would definitely buy the scoops, especially if they are designed like the above pics. Thanks Mike for the great thread!

[Pcforno]

I would buy a set too.

I betcha there is a demand for the pieces that hold up the flapper rod in the heater box footwell. I discovered 3 of mine had gone missing. They were PVC melted in place and fall out easily after years of thermal abuse and get lost among stuff on the floor. As I looked for replacements I realized many vans have one or more of these missing. Dealer says NLA. There is a different symmetrical piece for each side of the outlet:

25125914401C Plate
25125914301C Plate

Only applies to later vans, I know ’85+ had them due to a redesigned heater box. These parts could be made easily on a 3D printer.

Did I hear mentioned an

in the works?
