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.
