[QUOTE="michaelpharrold, post: 333557, member: 12715"] @Lowe 20 77cc - Thanks, this is beautiful, and almost exactly what I had in mind. @TNtroller - that was my first thought, and it would solve my immediate problem. The thing with the chair is that I have to maneuver the tiller extension over or under the chair back...it's not difficult, just annoying. I've yet to see anyone make their own leaning post (except the welding guys)...but I think I'm still going to go for it. Staying away from wooden dowels - couldn't I just add 2 more seat post bases to the rear bench (one on each side of the existing on center) and make a butt pad (vinyl wrapped) that has seat mount plates on the bottom side? Then I can just throw my seat posts into the bases, and drop the cushioned top with mounts into those. The whole thing would be removable, and all of the support pieces would be aluminum...seems pretty simple, maybe I'm wrong.
