I've been reading in depth your builds, mainly the wheel adapters to take the fat wheels as I think this is by far the best way to reduce shock and vibration. So annoying as an ex tuner by trade that I cannot access a lathe to make such parts. The machine shop I worked in for 20 years had all the materials in abundance needed for such projects as shown on this forum. So many "guvvy" jobs as we called them that we would do and now in real need of such equipment and skills yet no access at all, so frustrating!

Repeating the advice I've given many times - look for local 'maker-spaces' also sometimes known as hackerspaces or collaborative workshops.... (DuckDuck is your friend...) They vary a lot in what they have, and often it will be older "obsolete" gear (i.e. Bridgeports) but at least some have varied machine shop gear... You pay a membership and get access to the tools. I have the good fortune to be an "inmate" at the Artisan's Asylum which is one of the top spaces, but you may have a reasonably good one in your area...

One thing for sure, after scouring the internet continually for a chair, the majority is garbage!

4 pole AMT motors, tilt etc. Be gone in about 4 hours...
Stick a set of new tyres on that and it looks new.
Note that no lights. So likely its 4mph. It COULD be 6, or 8. But unlikely.
