Hi All,
Over the last few days I put together my own Platform using my LW seat -- I attempted to follow previous posts on this forum. I bought the materials from eastern woods outdoors.
Long story short, I finished the platform and am having issues with it. When I cam it over it almost always wants to pop up. Obviously, I can reduce tension on the OCB and then cam it over, but then its not tight and wobbles once I stand on it. Im curious if anyone has experience with this DIY project and has some input.
Is the hole for the seat bolt too low? I drilled it at 4'' from the top (9'' platform post). I figured when I cam it over this would make it about in the middle. In reality when I cam it over its just over halfway, closer to 5 - 5 1/2 '' from top. Do you think drilling a new hole and moving the seat platform up will help?
Also how tight do you keep the buckle before camping over. Do you let the seat open up 45 degrees before tension/ more/less (assuming 90 is fully crammed).
Appreciate any advice
Ben
