    You guys got me thinking so, I even tried to talk to the ebay seller and ask for a new set to be sent out and he said the Very UN Typical thing from the HK/China Sellers " Send them back " Uh NO thank's, I wont be paying 2X the price i paid for the item in the first place to ship them back to you. Most of my encounter's with these seller's have been Fantastic and they've just no question's asked sent out the new parts. Maybe i should just try another cheap set from a different seller.

    Im kinda looking at something like this however, thinking it will be a little more "bulky and durable" seeing as its from a Kart which would take the same type of loads i would think as our chairs. Constantly being banged around on a rough track.

    I used the heims on ebay - about 9.00 US for my platform - I destroyed the very first one by tightening it up way too much - I then bought the 1/2" brass cones on eBay and that solved that...
    Just tightened in the bracket enough so I could barely move the cones - sweet deal. Live and learn.....
    I first tried a 1/2" "steel collar, which would have worked fine, but then I would have had to use a smaller 5/16" thru bolt...wanted to stay with a 1/2" thru bolt....

    Blessings,

    Tom
