Yeah I will, looks like I can do it easy enough. If I do it I will take some pics and post them.Let us know if you try to flip it.

How's that gonna work with out a way to hold the platform in place. If you flip it the stop bolt is going to be on the top, right?I got mine, looks nice. Haven't had time to mess with it yet. Sometime I will get around to trying it out. I really want to flip the platform over. I may take it apart and try it after see how it does the way it is. Thing would of been perfect if the platform was installed upside down.
bolt is attached to the stand. I think I see how he plans to flip it with no problem, and not affect the bolt, but I don't understand why he wants to. maybe the angle portion? doesn't seem significant enough to me.How's that gonna work with out a way to hold the platform in place.

nubs for grip are on the top onlyIs it more grippy on the bottom or something?
I didnt realize the platfrom level bolt was on the post with their platform. Hadnt looked that close obviously. My guess is yes he is looking to use the slope for foot comfort sorta like the trophyline platform.bolt is attached to the stand.

Lol, you'd have to countersink the other side or use different bolts/machine screws.I got mine, looks nice. Haven't had time to mess with it yet. Sometime I will get around to trying it out.

I just want to flip it for foot comfort, little bit of angle is a lot more comfortable for me. With some angle on edge I can keep platform flat enough to stand on easier and reduce angle on ankles. Feet are less likely to slip due angles when leaning also. The only thing that may screw me is the teeth are machines in on the top I would have make sure it still locks in good after flipping it.What's the reason for wanting to flip it? Is it more grippy on the bottom or something?

It will be weaker though if you countersink the other side as well!I think I can handle a countersink. I want the angle on top for foot comfort. This is what I did to my lwcg. Did mine before the seeker existed. This one will be a piece of cake. View attachment 100982View attachment 100983View attachment 100984
I have ate more money then this on some other experiments. End of the day not that big of a deal if it don't work out. If it does I will be happy though.It will be weaker though if you countersink the other side as well! Just be sure it's worth it!
Yeah I will probably just bolt up without modding first. Make sure it will still lock in on a tree with the way the teeth are machines in. If it is still solid then I will mod to make it work right.It will be weaker though if you countersink the other side as well!
Why don't you try to use flat head bolts first to see if you actually like it. Then maybe fill the old countersink with jb weld since you'll have already voided the warranty! I'm interested in how it turns out as well!
Introducing the Arsonyx. The hottest platform not on the market.I gotta get some new bolts to try it out on a tree but this is what it looks like flipped. View attachment 100993View attachment 100994
This is pretty interesting and got me thinking about how it folds. Folding it with the taper this way would not be as nice for packing or as sleek looking but the taper being on the top is smarter.. So what if this exact platform existed(obviously with the tread on the correct side) but where it folds up backward? The leveling screw could be turned out of the way so the post pivots and folds against the bottom side. Might offer some easier setup on tree if you can attach it while the platform is flat down against the tree, then flip up, adjust leveling screw, and cam it down?I gotta get some new bolts to try it out on a tree but this is what it looks like flipped.

You also lose the cut edges for grip
But it might actually cam with the gap it puts above the teeth.
These platforms suck for grip anyway, relying on sharp teeth is poor design imo.
