Hey Everyone,
very new here so pls forgive! I'm restoring my 85 Westy and I bought a drawer (actually from here!) to replace a damaged one on mine. The face had a nice divot in it from getting wacked by some climbing gear. As it turns out, the drawer I bought is different than mine. Mine has the cutout around the drain pipe...this one is just a stubby short drawer. I'd like to replace just the face of mine with the face of the new one, but I can't figure out how the face attaches to the rest of the drawer and I don't want to rip it to pieces to figure it out. Has anyone done this before?
Thanks for any help!

I just took a look at mine, and to be honest I've got no clue. It almost looks as if it was glued in place. Maybe try a custom cabinet shop?

It looks that way to me, too. Crying or Very sad I'll have to see what I can do...

p.s. I used to be a Mountaineering EMT with the Red Cross!

Good times! I'm a firefighter/paramedic in the sierras, and wilderness medicine instructor.
