Atatching a table.

[Blunderbus]

I want to attatch a Devon type table to the side of the van using two lift out catches. Obviously the facia cards will be too flimsy to take the weight of the table. One screw can go into the pillar between the middle and rear windows, but that leaves me with a screw to put in halfway along the panel below the middle window. So what have other people done? do I build a wooden support behind and screw this in somehow?

Is this a Devon table with single fold down tee leg or triangular bar leg? The latter spreads weight better.

It won't be taking all the weight when erected. Just resting against it so to speak.

Personally I would take panel off and strengthen with a small baton of lightweight (soft) wood running vertically. You either glue to back of card or better still, to inner steel panel. No Nails will stick it to anything .

Good luck

Cheers Maxstu,
Yes I was thinking a baton, but hadn't thought of No more Nails. I think its a case of whittling it to fit around the steel pressings that form the long panel.
I've bought a devon table from an old bay. It has two plastic catches and a single angled leg which screws into a plate under the table. I'm not planning on using the table top itself but transfering the fittings over onto a skimboard.
