1968 Valiant - question about table

[Don Ricardo]

Hi all,

Can somebody with a late 60's Valiant or Ambassador help Dave64 with his question, originally directed to Daggsey, about the mechanism that attaches the table to the wall:

Hiya Daggsey, we just bought a 68 Valiant to restore. Wonder if you could help us with a photo of the table mechanism that attaches it to the wall ours is wobbling from side to side. The strip it hooks into is there but it seems like something is missing causing it sway around against the front wall. The leg secures to the front (floor) as it should....anyway got some fun ahead, it's a sweet caravan, presently replacing inner roof...that's that. Cheers. Dave.😊

I am assuming that Viscount probably used the same mechanism for all their Ambassador, Valiant and probably Viscount models?

I'm sure Dave64 will appreciate any help he can get.

This is from an early valiant. Table inserted into slot and locked in place
Later models may differ

Sorry guys, I missed this query to me re the fixing of the table to the front wall.
Having said that, it has been 7 years 😳 since I owned Lady Madonna, so I don’t recall the method used.
