I posted this in the wrong thread before (sorry!)

I put little bumper dots on the top of my front table. Each corner and then the middle as well. Then when driving I put it face down on the rear table with a strap around it. It has worked pretty well.
I do get a little rear table movement while driving and the extra weight likely does not help.
I was thinking of drilling a hole in the table leg where the tightening know hits while in the stowed position. That way it would not move at all. |
This a good solution:

Another bungee solves that problem.

Someone mentioned that he lubed the threads of the knobs. This is an effort to reduce friction so that tightening is easier.
It works. I lubed the treads on the rear leg and I lubed the end of the the end of the knob bolt so that as it presses agains the little compression deal it spins easier.
It gets very tight with less effort.

Hi all,
I am working on replacing the front table leg and table. Since I live in Baja, Mexico, stuff is not easy to come by. But I have the tubing.
Can anyone give me some tips on where to begin the bend of the the table leg?
Any tips on how many inches from the bottom of the tube to where bend should start.
I will be ordering the table base plate after the table is made down here.
Thanks guys, 
Bob
