RE: Grommets for rear table leg I just looked at the Rockler website. I'm going to have to measure again but it looks like the sizes they have are the same as what I found locally. I have seen on Westy with a grommet in that location, a '91 and the owner said it came to her that way so no help (and I never got a chance to steal it :) ) And I agree that a bigger diameter dowl would be just a little more solid. But I have no shop to work in so turning an ovesize dowel down to fit isn't in the script for me. One of these days I'm going to continue with my idea of a BLOG or Web page that shows some of the easy convenience upgrades and changes that can be made by anyone with basic tools. We have a lot of people on the various lists that either don't have the skills (so they think) or the facilities to do major work on their vans but there are a lot of little things that can be done that make life better in the Westy and don't require an engineering degree or a machine shop. |
