Here we go, I managed to cut the nuts down a fraction so they fit under the table, and using a slab of cast iron for the connecting block, it is all working nicely. I had to notch the knee slightly to get the full table travel, but I never removed any real "meat". There was a thin section (maybe 1/8" thick) which just seemed to function as a swarf guard, so I drilled a series of holes through, and it came away easily with a soft blow from the persuader.
