Ok guys, been a little work in progress for a while but glad to say my project golf cart seat is finally complete.
I looked and looked on which model of golf cart seat would be the best to start with. I chose the club car ds seat. I don’t know if this is the best option but it does work and I didn’t have to go to the hardware store.
More than enough extra peices of steel come with the seat. The grab handle was actually made out of the uprights that support the roof. So with a welder, grinder, and patience it is pretty good. The main thing to get started is to notch out the angle iron to rest on the rack flush. The welder is not abosolutely necessary but save me some drill bits.
Rides really nice. I added some 2 inch cork tape under the seat frame that made contact with the rear rack. Absolutely no rattling. Transports 4 people around fine. Haven’t really tested the limits of terrain but, super pleased so far.
And no welds were made to the actual machine. All connections are bolts and nylok nuts.

Yellow Creek Mine
Rode the P5 just over a mile into an abandoned mine shaft. It was crazy! The youtube is abit tedious but the first minute and last minute are ok. At the very end of it you see three machines exit. Not for the claustrophobic rider!

Hello from Quadra Island. I am originally from Nanaimo and curious as to where Yellow Creek Mine is.

I took a drive to Loggers Bay Rec Site today. This has been a “boat in” only site for many years but just recently a logging company has pushed in a road. It’s still a little rough in places and really steep in others. Mr. Honda should be ashamed when I have had to winch Run A-Muck up a hill that was built for an off road logging truck! I should have had a locker. I also found some good firewood logs but I haven’t figured out how to get them home. Maybe I should’ve bought a P1000....or two.

I lived in Ladysmith in 1980 at 2nd and Baden-Powell St. Small world. Yea I know the area the mine is in. I’ve been up there many times with a trail bike but never saw it before. Cool.

Installed the front locker, changed the front brake pads while I had the front end tore apart, and gave her a light washing. Mr. Wiggy the Wonder Piggy helped me out by plucking sockets and things I had scattered out and moving them a few feet farther away out of my reach lol. I would still like to change the oil before we ride this Saturday, but we'll see if I get to it. Ive worked on machines for 3 days, I gotta go back to work tomorrow to get a break. Lol

The mirrors went on great, they fit well even with the Honda doors on. However with the doors on there are obstructions. If they stuck out a little farther that would be great, but then they would stick out to far when the doors were off.

I've been working on putting LED headlights in my P5. The ones from Ebay. I have them installed and waiting for the 1000 switch to arrive so I can mount it. When I tested these lights are about 500% better?brighter than just replacing the bulbs and I have low/high beam now. I can't wait to try on trail
