Table base conversion

[jdeeter]

I am looking to install permanent pedestals on my table which is in the slideout. Question is how long should the screws be? The base uses # 12 screws and I could not find 1" at Home Depot, bought 1 1/4" screws but don't know the thickness of the flooring in the slideout.

i did the same conversion but my table is not in the slide. i would say your 1 1/4 screws are too long. 3/4 inch screws would be more like it. maybe someone else will chime in that has completed the mod in your model. good luck. i just reused the screws that were holding the folding legs under the table. check how long they are.

Thanks, good idea to reuse. also will give me a reality check on sizing.

Just completed the table mod in my 831fkbss and my table also is on the front slide. I found that #10 3/4 in. screws did the trick. I was able to lift the carpet and measure the thickness of the floor and determined that it was between 5/8 and 3/4 thick. Decided to go with the 3/4 in. screws and it worked like a charm.

Where can you get the hardware for this mod. I want to do the same but can't find the hardware.

The table flanges and posts came from camping world, the screws were from Home Depot. Very easy mod...completed in under 1 hour and DW loves the fact no more spilled food
