I got a set out of wave venture you can just have for a couple beers!
Nice! Versiplug emailed me back and the smallest diameter they have is 1" w/16mm threads.
I'm gonna go take some measurements tonight and see.....

Don't you want your tray to sit flush on that nice flat surface?

Very interested in this, I'll be defoaming my ski soon. I've considered using pinging balls but I've heard some bad things so I figured polystyerene would be better.
I'll keep watching before I ask questions.

HS! how did i miss this thread when it was newborn? I've been beating the beer pong ball drum since i did it do an Octane 3 years ago it worked out great. Glad to see someone else here lending it legitimacy. Your additional supports are a good idea, though i did not/have not found them necessary 3 years later. Way better than foam and no shaping required. I sheeted over my balls with a cut out spiny 'office chair floor mat' and its held them all in place and provided that final flat surface. The only place i used foam was in the rails above the deck of the tray. Good luck MADMAT, let us know how it turns out please. And for anyone else reading this- make sure your buying plastic balls aka. beer pong balls or washable ping pong balls. If you buy China special ping pong balls balls made from cellulose instead- you'll regret it

Ok, so I have a question, and you may address this later.
How will you structurally support the gunwales? Are they beefy enough out of the mold or will you be adding something?
I assume you would make a structure like your tray reinforcment you've done already, but I wasn't sure.
I intend on doing this (maybe with ping pong balls) and the plan for the gunwales have me scratching my head.
BTW, pic with your kid in it is classic.
