Are those from Home Cheapo, too? What keeps the table from sliding out during a quick stop? Or quick acceleration--oh, never mind about that.... Richard, very simple. Two 12" brackets are made from one piece of wood just slightly thicker than the table. Another strong thin piece of wood, wood flooring is good for this, glued and nailed to the first piece so that it makes a track to hold the table. Make two of these, one for each side. Then these brackets are screwed to the ceiling with drywall screws so that the table is centered in the ceiling and will allow the table to slide in and out easily. You need to get the depth just right due to the rubber molding for and aft which will be used to prevent the accidental exit of the table but will keep it in place unless forced from it's tracks. The wood brackets were painted gray to match the rest of the gray trim after proved to work well and before permanent installation.
