So far.
1. Bought chair and had the power centre footrest installed in place of the stock swing away ones.
2. Fitted smaller fat smooth caster tyrs, 3.00 x 4 but only 8 inch diameter. To give more Footplate space.
3. Which allows the seat to be moved back a little further. Chair now less nore heavy, and heels come back further.
4. Capacity tested new 75Ah cheap generic batteries, 74Ah actual. Will get lithium in spring along with salsa.
5. Widened the stock rims by 27mm to make them 75mm or 3 inches wide.
6. Fitted 120/70-8 "STEADY" tyres, and a puncture sealer filled 4.5 inch x 8 tube.
7. Fitted the complete wide wheel/tyre combo.
8. Removed front caster and rear mudguard/fenders.
9. Removed and replaced useless wobbly swingback single post arms with single post removable arms.
10. Arms still not solid enough, so will be adding TWO MORE uprights, so the are way stronger and solid! Not cheap.
11. That useless swing away arm thing is far, far too easy to move position AS I DRIVE causing several close shaves with cars and doorwars. I Ordered some rubber "washers" so that I can add them between the body of the swingaway and the understide of the arm and pull ut tight up with a clamp while I tighten positioning allen key to make it much more rigid. As it stands those things are dangerous. And too long...
12. Removed one of the knuckle extentions on the headrest as it looks far neater.
13. Lowered the back cushion by 4 inches,
14. removed every bolt that is easily accessible and greased them. Reassembled properly. Some were already siezed and getting locked in place. And this chair is 3 months old and never driven other than to test. Why dont they buy a tin of grease?
To DO:
1. Remove seat, add spacers to lift the front edge to have 6 degree "dump", when the seat is at its lowest tilt position. Right now the larger rear tyres and slaller front leave it at 2 degrees negative tilt. You can adjust the whole lift mechanism and seat in one go to give the desired dump. But that means as you LIFT the CG is moved rearwards. Right now it does the opposite which is what we want! Makes the chair less "tippy" as the CG moves forwards as you get higher up.
2. Sort programming. Right now its undrivable.
3. Do something with the set of switches on the left arM. They stick out past the arm, so will be destroyed every door frame. And whatever I am doing hits them and starts moving something. So no good! May just remove them.
4. Fit bolt for tiedown in van.
