Egg Mates Side Tables

Posts: 66
I am almost convinced to purchase the folding Egg Mates side tables!! How difficult of a job is it to install the Egg Mates on a large Egg?? Will I need to remove the lower band??( I assume this is what I will need to do)
Has anyone done this job?? Any tips or suggestions for me?? Any help is appreciated!!
Thanks fellow Eggers!!

AZ Geoff,[p]Yes, you have to remove the lower band, but it's not that difficult. A second set of hand would be helpful, but i did mine without help. Make sure you get an extra set of nuts and bolts for the bands. I had to cut the bolts in order remove them. Also, when reinstalling the bands, The nuts should start to bend (thats how you know you have tightened them enough!

Smokey,
my 2 cents worth is to make sure he uses stainless steel nuts and bolts on that band. As a kicker I also used locking washers plus a locking nut...I know, I know - kinda like wearing both a belt and suspenders, but I don't worry about my dome falling off now!

RRP,
LOL
I not only used lock washer's I double nutted the bolts also.[p]New Bob

Smokey,
Not to pick nits, but the bolts should bend, not the nuts. If the nuts bend, you got serious problems, methinks! LOL[p]TNW

RRP,[p]You and New Bob have me ready to pick up some locking nuts, just to be safe![p]Smokey
