Lagun Table Handle & Bolt

Proaspen · July 2023

Just took delivery of our 2022 T@B 320S Boondock. Previous owner, I suspect, overtightened the Lagun handles and three of the four were bound tight. I managed to get them free with some WD-40 and time. Got the handles off and can see where the (carriage?) bolt threads have been damaged. Lagun sells the handles w/bolts for $30 per set (I need three of them). Seems to me I could replace the carriage bolts locally. Anyone have experience doing just that? What size bolts did you end up getting? Lagun replacement instructions call for a block of wood inserted into the leg and or table handle to prevent collapsing the aluminum "tube". Also calls for cutting out the old bolts with a hack saw. But you tap the new ones into place.

Thoughts/guidance?

Thanks

Welcome to the Forums.

Lots of smart people here, and here is one example.

Here is another mod that eliminates the "ratchet handles" entirely and replaces them with wing nuts.

Thanks for the links. The wing nut one gave me the size of the carriage bolts, exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again!
