Supplier of table leg inserts

[Swanrad2]

OK, so in the middle of our refit - hence the multitude of questions.

The boat is a 1979 Centaur, and on drawing the metal fittings into which the demountable table legs fit they crumpled into white powerd. Replacement time, anyone know a supplier of such things?

The chromed legs themselves look a bit rough now as well. Is it possible to have them stripped and re-chromed at all? The legs are slightly tapered at top and bottom, hence I don't want to just replace them.

Cheers, T

Hi Swanrad2,

Take a look here:

Most chandlers would be able to supply them.

Easy when you know how.

No problem

I'll be fitting new ones myself too shortly! Amongst other things, doing a bit of a re-fit ourselves too.

Who is boat DIY Sooooo much more fun than the house based equivalent?

Probably the only place I will ever get excited by table legs is on a boat.

Nowhere seems to sell good quality Desmo or FIAAM ones anymore. The cheap ones are pretty horrible.

Hi Simondjuk,

Try here for Fiamma table parts, probably cheaper than some chandleries as they are for motorhome conversions:

Thanks chaps, that gives a non-rusting wobble free solution. Any known suppliers of the Desmo bits, simply because they're a straight swap for the bits I already have, or are they defunct?

I bought a nice stainless leg from Surejust for not very much more than an aluminium one. You can find them as www.surejust.co.uk or on eBay as seller surejustltd.

I bought a pair from them as I wanted a pair 50mm shorter. I've still got the old ones, and four sockets.
