Quote from jaydmc on June 2, 2015, 10:08 amWe have made customs ones in the past, real pain to do, one options we used one time and is the least expensive way to go is we picked up a seat designed for use in a bath tub. It came with a built in batter pack and is water proof. We then modified the unit to lift a seat. Hannigan at one time offered a seat lift for some of their sidecars, you might check with them. We have no plans to make these again.

Quote from ccridr on June 7, 2015, 7:12 pmJacks are not stable enough unless you build a slide system attached to the back of the seat to keep the seat stable while going up and down. The one I have was manufactured by Hannigan.

Quote from Snakeoil on June 30, 2015, 8:18 pmWhat about the mechanism from a tractor trailer or large dump truck seat. You might find an ugly seat with a good mechanism you can retrofit to your seat bottom.
How about an old ejection seat with a short tether? 😉

Quote from OldSchool_IsCool on July 8, 2015, 1:07 pmNice!! Let us know how well it works. I may just have to steal your idea... er, I mean, use your build as "inspiration" 😀
