I also hate looking over the top of my windscreen in my Beamish Buggy.

I'm gonna take out my seat cushion as it is 4 inches thick. Will replace with a 1 inch one and then I can sit real low.
Why do we celebrate the guy that invented the wheel??
Surely we must celebrate the guy tat invented the other three

Your arse won't be impress, especially on longer drives. Rather try and lower the seat.

My passenger side is fine as the seat is bolted to the floor but the driver’s side is too high due to the adjustable rail but it can definitely come down more and should solve the problem!

speaking of lights i saw a buggy forsale in durban yesterday and i might be wrong but he had the usual rubber light housing that most of the buggies use but it looked like he had LED lamps in there was thinking of phoning him and asking if they were anyone heard of these? im gonna call a supplier tomorrow and ask i think they use them in fork lifts and earh moving equipment possibly. update on the buggy tried to get the brake lines back today but the guy messed me around :evil: sooo hopefully tomorrow then i can do some work on saturday :mrgreen:
