Hi,
I am missing the clamp that should be attached between the passenger seat and the sliding door that you put the pole for the small table in.  I can see two bolts where it used to be and have looked in on ebay and contacted Autosleepers but all to no avail.  Does anyone know where on earth I could get one - or is there a 3d printer person who's selling this type of thing - it's only a small clamp!?

I can't visualise the one on the Trooper, but the one on our (non-A/S) Celex is made of stainless steel. If it's the same basic design, I doubt that conventional 3D printed plastic would be strong enough to take the combination of weight and leverage.

So you may need to buy a complete generic table leg assembly, retaining just the worktop of the A/S supplied part.

Ah, this one goes straight into the floor but the one I'm looking for attaches to the 'wall' of the van. I shall probably just have to start again if I really want to use the second table!  Thanks :)

No you don't get it 
The original set up on the A/S T5's had a clamp on the door pillar plus a screwed socket below it for the bottom of the angled leg to sit in.
The large socket was to screw onto the base of a 'table top' to fit onto the uppermost tapered boss at the top end of the cranked leg.
The pic I enclosed does not have the bottom cup which I think was one specially done for the A/S range.

I don't think the cup is unusual or specific to A/S. This is the one in the Celex:

Our other Topaz had one clamp and the bottom cup with the original cranked arm and table which were stored in the wardrobe on special  brackets.
The 2008 Auto was bought from near Taunton and the whole assembly was missing only the captive nuts in the side pillar present. The dealer was most unhelpful as to where they were saying that they were not with the van on exchange, so much for dealers. But as an auto Topaz was like hens teeth and we had come 500 miles to view we had to accept it or lump it!! Now use a short leg and folding/plate base with a small A/S  table as a substitute and the large table lives in the loft. 
Still looking for an original cranked leg and clamp though.
