is that from the jack of ebay? It has a bigger thread than I thought

[Laser]

well its not from the jack off ebay but it looks a bit like it

after your comments and issues with the threaded rod i'm going for the jack I think. Should work alot better.

Have to say you would do really well to ask if anyone has got half an electric seat from a jaguar/rover 800 (not quite as stupid as you may think cos people buy them for the Bosch 35w motors they come with.)

They come with a few linear actuators in them (to move the seat) with some mounting brackets which you can weld/bolt into place. Probably going to be a lot lighter than butchering a car jack.

You can then play about with it at quite minimal cost (Seat with motors is normally around £25)

already got some bosch's, but I'll have a look at the whole assembly.

what about this, saves alot of work, with connecting the motor to rod etc, just don't know how the motor would perform?

if it can move people then it cant be too bad

[billy breach]

thats what I was thinking to be honest.

Some people are bigger than others as well so should handle a 13kg bot.

a bit more expensive, but the whole assemblty http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/driveres-seat ... 27c1d3fcc0

I will probably go for the scissor jack and put it on a dewalt.
