Mike- The lock washers looks like a nice solution. Using just the stock standoffs my bracket did indeed slip over the standoff during operation the first time I used it. I ended up just replacing the standoffs with flat washers. Seems solid although I agree that you've probably got better alignment using the lock washers. Steve

Dennis- Thanks. That had been my initial thought and I spent over an hour yesterday trying to get it to work. My biggest problem is that because the holes in the roti bracket are so much larger than the standoffs on the rear mounting studs the roti bracket tends to slip over the standoffs and so the roti bracket just rattles around behind the side table bracket and never gets tight. Based on your assurance that it works, I went and tried again today and managed to get it on by keeping downward pressure on the roti bracket as I tightened to force it's to just catch on the standoffs - it's tight but seems precarious since if the rote bracket moves at all it'll slip over the standoff again. I think I just need to replace the standoff with something larger diameter (stack of washers?). Thanks, Steve

So Dennis, love my side tables but it's a pain to have to take the bracket off to allow the roti bracket to be mounted. Any thought to modifying the bracket design so that the roti bracket can remain mounted? It would be great to just be able to drop the table down and perhaps remove the teak and then just slip the motor on - even easier would be to just incorporate the motor mount into the side table bracket itself.
