Keith, it would help us if you gave a budget in mind for the project.
There are other ways of doing it, but they will be more fiddly, but a hell of a lot cheaper.

Cheers Mark

Budget :rolleyes: wtf is a budget ?

My criteria

1/ ease of moving gear from car to site and back again( too heavy, bulky,awkward it won't get used )

2/ is ease of set up, pack up ( if its awkward,painstaking, slow) it wont get used

3/ For me simple is good, even if it cost a bit more for the convenience ( I've got a grand son that I could raffle ;) )
 
Front legs fixed.
Rear legs, Peace of square tubing that slides
inside the other.
Inner has a set of holes drilled at 20 mm Spacing.
Adjusted with a pin that is retained to the banker with a Fishing Trace.
That way, You do not lose them in the bottom of a stream. :) :)
I use bent thin Tent pegs.

Yes I agree Doug , your system is very good just trying the kiss system a bit like the tent pegs

Always looking for simple improvements, that's the name of the game isn't it
 
Bloody Outh Cobber.
With the setup I have,
Nothing protrudes under
the banker hence not destroying your car or
your arm when carrying it.
I have destroyed a set of seat belts because
of overhanging leg supports.
 
Oh, No protruding bolt heads in the sluice area either.
All will be revealed tomorrow for you Cobber.
Been flat biscuit last couple of days. :N:

Just been having a look around the net and I found this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtuA18xdzbo which overall looks ok. The bit I'm really interested in is the fold up adjustable leg set up at about 1:16

Any ideas where I could get something like them ?
cheers Keith

The auto lock pins are called locking bolts, or indexing plungers, I sell them from time to time at work, they are available in black oxide (will rust) or stainless, $15 -$25 each :Y:
 
A tip for the diy's. Remember to offset the front legs outward and forward a bit. If you kep them square, they will be facing back under the unit when set up at the working angle . This makes the unit steardy. With the rear legs...square is fine as the will be pointing backwards, just put the same angle outwards a tad. Making sure it wont foul with hopper.
