RE: '88 5k Recirc door bracket P/N?

["Buchholz, Steven" <Steven.Buchholz@kla-tencor.com>]

Carlsen's number is 1-800-762-7883 ... but I doubt they'll have the parts in
stock (I think I got the last bracket they had).  The good news is that they
can get the flap seals and spring from an aftermarket source, which does
bring the cost down a bit.  

I install the bracket from underneath ... it isn't that difficult to get at
the place where the bracket is mounted, but it is a real PITA to attach that
bracket!  My idea about using the sheet metal screws did eventually work (I
used a #8 x 1/2" "dual drive" sheet metal screw, but I had to hook my
cordless drill to my "Skewdriver" to be able to get the screw to bite into
the plastic.
