Prop mounts for the screened in rear canvas to leave the window open in hot weather. |

Any pics so that I can visualize? The window it is on now has a fixed glass. _________________ 1971 1302LS Convertible (RHD) owned since '74

Sorry not the window but the rear hatch (with the window in it), no pictures but it was a screened in tent like assembly that snapped around the inside of the rear hatch (to keep the bugs out) and the angled supports fit into those brackets to help support it. Sold the 71 Westy 5 years ago as it was getting time for a total refresh. |

I wonder if these brackets which are next to the middle non-opening window were used to hold canvas bags for mail...
I've not been able to find any period or reference pics of these Deutschepost vans. _________________ 1971 1302LS Convertible (RHD) owned since '74
