Vern, Jerome, Scott, thanks.

If it works out, this will be a spot to install some kind of tether for the rear table. I did the height mod and made a pin set up

so that table can be swiveled easily w/o any need to clamp it while it's raised. For the most part, leaving it at "full" height works for me. "Full" height = it can swing above stove lid when lid closed.

Just thought if I left it at that height while driving, I'd tether it. In the event of a sudden bump, rather not have it swing forward possible damaging glass. Of course if the "bump" is hard enough, I won't care <grin>

That bolt hole is about the right height. Time will tell if I find an easy off the shelf tether solution.

Neil.
