J/30 Class Association Forums J/30 Forum The Boat, Sails and Equipment Table mounting base/supports

I've recently acquired a genuine J30 main cabin folding (2-leaf)table and am in need of the proper locations(side to side/fore&
aft)to construct such...My hull#63 doesn't
appear to have ever been so equipped,so I'll have to glass in as needed.Pearson was unable to assist me,so I'll have to count on a fellow owner to set me straight.Not sure(by the photo in J/Boats site)if the posts went to the port side of the sump,or thru the port floor?
Thanks in advance,BC

Bob - fortunately I've got the insert out of the cabin sole home for refinishing. I've taken a photo and included annotated stickies on the picture with dimensions. This assumes that you have the same cutout, located in the same place. The insert measures 15.5" x 58.375". The two table leg holes cut in the insert are 2.25" diameter. The forward hole center is located 9.375" from the forward facing edge, 8.125" from the port edge (7.375" from stbd edge). The aft hole center is 21.0" aft of the forward hole center.
Here is a link to a PDF file that shows pictures of the table insert points when I documented my bilge pump install.
