Tablesaw - Router Extension



I am thinking of converting one of the sides of my Tablesaw into a router table. I see a lot of pictures of folks doing this, but I don't see the detail on how it's 'attached' to the TS. I have 4 bolts holding the current extension on the TS, but I don't know how I could use those bolts since the router extension would be solid, unlike the metal table top being 'hollow-like', if that makes any sense.

Could I just drill the holes into the side to hook to the TS then use a forstner bit to drill up through the bottom so that I have a place to start the bolts? Also, should the extension be bolted to the fence rails, too?

Any advice, links, pictures appreciated.
