Subject:      "Kitchen" table in Westies?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

  Can someone point me to a picture, diagram, whatever, of how the swing out
table is supposed to work?  I got my interior 2nd hand from a Westie and
have it installed into my low top van. When I got the interior it came with
a "homemade" POS table set-up...the one that swivels out on the driver's
side just behind the stove/sink/fridge cabinet. The one that came with my
second hand interior was so  crudely made that I guess I just tossed it out
without paying much attention..Can't even find it anymore, but now I'd like
a working table, I think.  But they are silly-expensive to buy the whole
deal on the Samba, etc..so I want to make one. It is supposed to 'cover'
those two flip-open hatches, when it is not deployed as a table,  by
pivoting on some kind of "leg" that fits through the hole in that lower
cabinet.  I have the clamping sleeve and the knob plus a "base" bracket down
on the floor of the van where I guess some part of the table leg is supposed
to land.  I am supposing  there must be a 'telescoping' arrangement of some
sort so that you can raise up the table and pivot it across the interior
perpendicular to the side of the van and then lock it in place.  I am handy
with tools so I just need to see one, a picture of one, or a sketch or
description of how to.... to fabricate a working copy for my own van.  Or if
someone around Portland, Or. has a cheap table leg set-up they'd be willing
to off..that would work, too.
  thanks,  Don Hanson
