Need hardware to attach folding table to pedestal

[philscho]

Greetings,

I have a 1981 E 28+ with pedestal steering. I found a nice teak table top
( 13"x 24") that would make a great folding cockpit table if I could find
the hardware ( hinges) to attach it to the stainless tubes of the pedestal
and a locking arm to hold it in the opened up position.
Any ideas who or where I might look for this kind of hardware? I realize
Edson makes a hardware kit, but it seems dumb to pay $225 for the hardware
when I bought the table top for $10.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Phil

Sorry Phil but Edson is the only source I know of for the HW. I got lucky and picked up a brand new unfinished table and HW set on ebay for $300.

I adapted it to fit my 12.5" guard.

My old table used two plastic generic guard clamps with a piece of teak between the two legs. The table then attached to the teak with a piano hinge and was held up with a leg at the forward end.
