Steve, great comments (in other thread https://www.alsforums.com/forum/gen...ls-mnd/43994-navigating-power-wheelchair.html) . I have not been on this site for quite a while and I saw this post and wanted to ask you another question since you are my power chair guru. I was talking with my wheelchair dealer today, Numotion about some adjustments to my chair. fyi I have a Permobil model F3 that is about two years old. It is equipped with seat height tilt back AND foot pedal options. I use an easy lock system to secure me into the passenger side of my wheelchair van. That works fine although it reduces my ground clearance substantially so much so that I have trouble even with thresholds on doorways. When I mentioned this to my Numotion tech he indicated that the older models of Permobil's, specifically the M3 had an option for a retractable pin. This option is no longer being manufactured by Permobil. In talking with the tech support people at Permobil, they indicated that the device that was put on the M3's could also work on the F3's if I could find one.
That's why I'm writing to you and to the readers of this forum. Do you have any suggestions as to where I might look for this part and/or are there any third party sources that make such a device (retractable pin) that could be adapted to my chair.
Thanks in advance for your help
