Help needed to fix a table leg to a Kombi floor?

[johnmacster]

Hello
I’ve got a sequoia table leg and want to fix it to the floor in my T6 Kombi. Considering screwing right through the rubber flooring and into the metal floor, or, cutting a section of rubber floor out and gluing a section of timber to the floor and fixing to that but unsure what’s best. Anyone got any advice please?
Cheers, John

I have the Sequoia system albeit on 12mm ply and the thickness of Altro flooring. Cant remember what leg the screw I used bit I was conscious not to penetrate the metal floor. Rock solid

Thanks @Sackmycook i don’t like the idea of going into the metal either so will try a section of ply adhered with sikaflex, appreciate the reply mate

this was mine going in with a bit of OCD about positioning....

Could you fixed it further back?

Could you fixed it further back?

Yes, but the undertable receptor is offset to give me a 'near' and 'far' position from the seats.....

Hi John, I am looking to do as you described; how did you get on with the ply and sikaflex?

I have only a 9mm ply floor and I don’t feel confident that it’s thick enough to support my table leg with screws (as my table top is quite large at 55cm x 130cm).

So I’ve just bought some of these which seem excellent:




I bought them from eBay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181230569842

Will have to get the floor out to fit them, but I like that I can simply unbolt the table leg if ever necessary. Hope to get round to installing them this week so will report back.

I haven’t done it yet
I’ll get around to it one day.

I got this from VanGear along with a tabletop and leg. Simply fits into empty kombi seat brackets with the supplied J brackets.

Nice idea, l like it.
I’m not sure it is in the right place for me. I was hoping for a table directly between front captain’s and the rear double

It comes with an additional bolt to fit it into one of the floor securing rings points. Check out the VanGear website for images. You need to either swivel the captain's seat or if fixed in place, tilt forward.

Checked it out and have now ordered.
Thanks for the advice.

I installed my leg with these today. Wrote about it in What Have You Done To Your Van Today? if anyone is interested.
