Heres what I did for a replacement table. The previous owner shortened the table and modified the support for it. The result was a wobbly funky table that was kind of ugly. Here's a pic of it folded down.
What type of hinges and supports did you use, how do you hold the table in the up or down positions, what type of wood, and how do you get the compression post through the hole in the table?
Reudi,Can this table arrangement still be used to extend the v-berth bed length? I have a H26, but I think factory tables were the same and could be rotated front to back depending on how one wanted to use the table top.
the bushing is made from nylon bushing stock 4 1/2" long machined to 2"ID and 2.5"OD with a 1/4" lip on each end. The bracket is a piece of 1/4" stainless plate 6"x18" with a 4" piece of 2 1/2" stainless sched 40 pipe welded through the center. Then I cut it in half through the axis of the pipe. Cut the bushing in half also. This allows it to go around the compression post and be clamped back together. The table top is made from 3/4" oak plywood. I traced the old tabletop onto it and cut the 2 leaves off. They are reattatched using piano hinges. The center section is 10" wide. I cut it in half lengthwise and joined it back together around the compression post. The table can still be lowered to make a berth out of the dining seats. I will take pics of the underside showing the bracket and pinch bolt arrangement and post tomorrow. I plan on making a 4 cup holder that will go around the compression post as well and hide the top of the bushing.
