they change for 72 crossdressing vw designers thought it`d be a good idea to confuse everyone.i`ll see if i can dig out some pics otherwise its the triangular door catch that when removed gives the game away

May be wrong but I think what Dave is looking for is a solid rear hatch without the window as he uses the van for business

I have a solid rear hatch from a lat bay, '76 I think.
It's from a Katastrophshutz wagon (bright orange) and is mint condition.

If you didn't manage to find one, there's a few pics on this site of a homemade one that looks half decent: http://www.vintagebus.com/howto/hatch.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Thanks for the offer Stuart, from what i.ve been told on here, you're late hatch won't fit my van. I think it to do with the bracket holes? Can you send some pictures of the hatch and the brackets. Thanks, Dave
