Westfalia Table fixings (genuine images)
I've recently bought a camper with a Westfalia interior, it has front and rear tables which I don't think are genuine (not an issue). The rear table fixing is a problem, can anyone either point me to images of genuine Westy fixings (both leg and top)?
I want to confirm what if any parts are genuine before I modify or replace them.
Thanks

Thanks, some pics were helpful on there, but no details on the table to leg fixings (front or rear) or the rear table leg fixings in the cupboard.

Yes, but a lot of these will be copies, I was hoping someone on here would point me to definitive Westy pics.

This is a genuine rear leg.
Sits over a dowel type fixing and drops through a hole.....not much more to it than that. Table fixing is the same as the front....but table is 800mm not 600 like the front.

Re: Westfalia Table fixings (genuine images)
Thanks for the info.
Now I know that my front table or leg isn't genuine and after getting soaked popping out to the van neither is the bracket. Also the rear table and leg aren't genuine either.
Is there a second bracket for the rear leg lower down or does it just have a top fixing at the top inside the cupboard, mine isn't bolted on the fridge side so is loose?
I'm probably going to take out the rear table because it is a hinderance, getting in the way of the wardrobe door and the top doors on the cupboards under the table. Also with four or five peeps onboard it is a right pain moving the rear table unless at least two peeps get out.

Re: Westfalia Table fixings (genuine images)
Good info. Can some tell me the size of the front table top.
I'm going to start producing copies of the tables, leg and bracket.

Top is 600 x 400 with radiused corners.
Guy on ebay sells bottom brackets for 20 quidd ....which i think is super cheap.

Thanks, tops are the easiest part for me.
It's finding the best materials for the leg, I can do a nice one in stainless but it's not cheap.

Re: Westfalia Table fixings (genuine images)
Hardest bit for me was bending the tube at 36mm od.
Foolishly i tried to match the westy one exactly....and no one could bend it.
38 mm and everone could.
