Hey. Neat! That'll stay together.

I've been solar panel obsessed lately so please forgive me.....

Had thought a short pipe sized to the Westy table leg OD welded to a
bumper end, might allow the leg to support the Westy table, or, a
solar panel support that swivelled. (for those using folding solar
panels?) Crazy thought but while it was on my mind.....

Drill a couple holes on arm for a cross pin, maybe add a screw clamp to pipe....

Neil.
