Default Pexto plate stake holder

I picked up some stakes and a Pexto stake plate #981 , but no stand. Can anybody post a pic of what the stand looks like for where the plate rests? So I can put the supports under the plate. Thanks in advance. Steve

I've got a pair of them, and they came out of an oak table top. The top was rabbited so that the plates set flush.

Here's the current factory metal stand for the 982 plate:

Default Stake plate

What I'm looking for is the placements ,and the size ( width ) of the braces under the stake plate that the plate bolts to. These support the plate and are part of the base.

I have one that I built my own stand for it. Here are pictures and I can go to the shop tomorrow if you want dimensions of what I built.

I basically built a angle iron frame under the table and then added legs along with the lower shelf for the stakes that were small enough to fit below, the others hand on the wall below my welding table when I need them.

I have metal formed on the stakes and even the table it's self for sheet metal forming, it is very solid. The wheels only touch when you lift the other end so I can roll it under the welding table out of the way.
