Hi,

My Westfalia early bay 1970 came with all cabinets dissembled.
I'm struggling to find a way to secure the big side cabinet at the back near engine.
How was it done ? It seems they are bolt holes in the metal but I've no holes in the cabinet.

Anyone has some pictures/explanations how that side cabinet was secure to the body ?

Thanks!

Looks like page 15 has the diagram of how it comes out. Not sure if that's helpful, but hopefully so.

Bolts with a J like hook on the end up top, and L shaped sheet metal brackets on the bottom. The hooks attach to lips on the structure of the body.
