Hope I've posted in the right place !
Have a 1981 westfalia with the early stick out tailgate lock. Have bought a replacement tailgate which must be the later type as it has the larger flush lock hole, Is the only difference the lock ? if we get a new late lock will it fit the locking bracket on the van body ?
Would appreciate any help if you have an early van and have replaced tailgate
many thanks

Yes it will fit, the only problem you will have is, as you say the lock?
I changed the tailgate on another van from early to late, fitted the early lock to the late tailgate and just sealed the gap in the larger hole, job done.
