Frame with holes

Introduction

This page will walk you through how to mount to a wheelchair, that has at least two available holes for our hardware to bolt securely to.

We try to avoid attaching to parts of the wheelchair that are designed to be removable, such as removable footrests or armrests.

Throughout this page, we will deal with installing and mounting either the Adapter Plate (WC-AP), Adapter Plate 2 (WC-AP2) or Adapter Plate 4 (WC-AP4).

If you have a round tubing frame chair you may want to use the Coved Spacers. These spacers provide a stable attachment to a round tube with holes.

*Be sure to use a locknut so the mount does not vibrate loose!
