    40 sedan bridge forum

    You'll probably be better off going out and just getting new ones. That's what I did with mine, was a lot less of a problem. I had to drill and tap new holes in the floor mounting piece but the new pedestal bases covered up the old holes.

    cherry laminate

    Why would it need to be shipped flat? Why can't you roll it and box it? Then when you recieve it lay it out on a flat surface and it will flatten out and lay flat in a couple of hours.

    Why don't you replace it with a 4" LED strip light, you can get them in different colors, I changed mine over an went with a purple/blue color not as annoying and bright as white but still bright enough to see at night.
