Default Jaguar Vanden Plas tables... in my LS

Got these 95-97 Jaguar tables from ebay and just finished installing them. Fit great. Check out more of my build in the florida forum.

Looks good, any install pics or notes/tips on how to do it?

I checked Ebay and didn't find anything for the 95-97 tables but a lot of 88-94 that look really close to what you have... Got any pt#'s?

These are the tables you are looking for. That being said, you have to read into some of these and take some of the general characteristics into account. Another cool place to find these is on Craigslist - perhaps a former owner is parting out his Jaaaaag after an accident. Speaking of accidents, check out a junk yard and look around

Installing these rear jag tables does give it a nice more complete look when you have a table in the center rear cup holder section. Have a pair myself with brackets and everything, which is currently up for grabs. View classified section for it

The install was just drilling 4 screws into the seat. I just positioned the tables where I wanted, marked it off and drilled them in. Done in 15 min. No part numbers. You just have to keep your eye on ebay and when a set becomes available you got to jump on it because they don't stay there very long. The older ones I have seen done, and I think I saw the same set you was referring to. They wanted like $250! Too much for me, and they had a bunch of cracks. I got mine for 130 shipped. Good luck

At some point, you should probably pop the seat back off and add a nut and washer in the back. Keep it on tight!

Not a very good pic but I saw these tables in a first gen ls... fit nicely but I think the newer tables fill in a little better.

I thought about that but when I drilled them in, I got a really good bite. If I see any signs of coming loose, I'll redo. Plus... they are only for looks, nothing will be put on them.

Think about it like this; Would you rather have the table fall out and potentially mess up the seats and/or break the table itself? Or would you just like to occasionally tighten it (assuming you don't use something like Loctite to keep it shut lol

Hey... if some of you guys are looking at possibly putting these tables in, there is is a set available in the general classified section. He wants them gone asap. Might get a good deal!
