Replacement Internal Sliding Table

[andrew bazeley]

I was about to post a question about the table when I spotted this interesting thread. My problem is that the old (2008) single leg is easily rocked if you lean on the table, and the two rivets holding the leg bracket to the underside of the table keeps coming away. Like others on this thread, I've used glue, but it doesn't last. Do the newer vans have two legs, and is it possible to fit them on the older vans? Or maybe fit two legs to the table, if that's possible to do for an amateur like me. Any other suggestions would be most welcome.

Modern tables are exactly the same, 1 leg and the assembly is riveted on.
If you use an industrial strength glue it should hold, or use Dome headed bolts from the table surface through the table in place of the rivets.

and the appropriate nuts.

Thanks - I might well settle for the bolt idea: won't look so nice, but practicality wins in this case. I've had the Cali for 9 years, and reckon on at least another 9!

Shouldn’t look too bad. Probably stronger than the original fitting.

I know this is an ancient thread now, but do more recent T5s and T6s have two legs on the table? The single leg table gets very wobbly, and the rivets have loosened a couple of times. If so, can you simply slide out a one-leg and slide in a two leg?

Still single leg i believe

Hi all seem to have a smiler issue, the rivits have come loose have people replaced with larger rivets and a good contact glue?
