Rich, I removed the 4 screws holding the Hillerange pan in place. Once it is out, the gimbals are easy to remove, just a nut on the backside holding them in place. I then put the pan back in place and reattached with the screws. I aligned the front of the new gimbal brackets (I used contoure parts from Swego.com) with the back (port side) of the holes left from the old gimbals. I set the brackets on the bottom of the pan. A good set of drill bits in necessary to get through the stainless. I used 1 1/4" #8 stainless screws to hold the brackets in place. Check your measurements, not sure if anything changed between '84 and '90. When the stove is in the up or gimballed position, it swings nicely without hitting anything. When it is rotated forward into the travel position, it fits perfectly inside the pan. Using the pan also allows you to retain the cutting board. Check out this thread from sailnet http://www.sailnet.com/forums/gear-maintenance/53418-origo-cookmate-gimbals.html It has good photos, although this user did not keep the stainless pan. Best of luck with your install. Jeff
