2013 Sprinter DIY 144WB, Portland OR
One mistake early in the conversion process was skipping a table for later, big mistake. I have a nice table now but it required too much of my time and funds. My original plan was to have and L post attached to the cabinet a la VW Westfalia but later in the process it would be too difficult to modify the microwave cabinet for the L table post.
For the first version I used 80/20 hinges, it was a mistake. The table sagged due to flimsy 8020 hinges. So, I redesigned new arms from scratch. Used water jetting cutting for 4 main parts made from 6061 ¼” aluminum. I also had to redo brass main posts.
New posts
Old arms with 8020 hinges, they required support and constant tightening.
New hinges, strong and level, my original supporting black post is now too short and likely not necessary.
