Listmember Keith O has a nice solution for the front table---move the
mounting base from the drivers pedestal to the passengers pedestal---
that way the table lives behind the passenger seat and makes a great
place for putting stuff while you are standing outside at the sliding
door. I plan on doing this mod but going one step further and putting
a swivel under the front table top so that when its behind the
passenger seat (new location) it can be swiveled flat (parallel to
the seat back) and out of the way. When you see the table behind the
passenger seat instead of the drivers seat, it seems to make more
sense and fit better there. It also gets out of the way of the
cockpit pass-through more easily. The base can be moved to the other
pedestal easily---just be sure not to drill the pilot holes for the 4
sheet metal screws too deep or you'll hit the starter battery and
that would definitely ruin your day. The carpet under the old base
location will need some fluffing up as well. That will hide the old
holes. Thanks to Keith O. for this mod.
