Re: Golf cart extension to 6 seater - Pros and Cons
Yes. That’s the situation. From now it’s BGW advice before purchasing it. I’m sure it’ll be fine once it’s welded up. I might add some more steel to strengthen the frame too.

Re: Golf cart extension to 6 seater - Pros and Cons
Yeah I would think if you welded it all up it should be good. You have any pics of how it bolts up?

Re: Golf cart extension to 6 seater - Pros and Cons
i dont understand why you guys think the weld makes such a differnce here. a weld will help the pieces bond togther but that has nothing to do with strength. how could a weld help a sagging cart? it needs over lapping metal to take the pressure off the cut points. the nivel kit uses like 3/8 thick aluminum plate and overlapps it over the frame like 12 inches. then uses 1/2 grade 8 bolts to bondo the plate and the original frame. we had 6 fat ***** on it and it didnt bend an inch. has nothing to do with welding or not its about the structure. the M&M kit i saw had no overlapping metal at the stretch points, they basically just butted up together. welding that instead of bolting it will do almost nothing

Not a butt joint. It already is overlapping.

Re: Golf cart extension to 6 seater - Pros and Cons
Well long story short- stay away from the M&M kit. It’s poorly designed and this is bound to happen. I just had a welder of 25 years look at it and he said it was a very poor design.
I’ll now have to fabricate some new brackets and plates to support the cart. What a pain. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: Golf cart extension to 6 seater - Pros and Cons
I don't like the lost front leg room on the factory extended carts. I'm 6'5" tall and feel cramped. I'm not sure if the kits address this or not. I also don't care for the change in turning radius.
