DS Frame Question
As I stated in another thread, I recently picked up two carts. One is gas and the other is electric.
The green cart is the electric one and has a ruined front frame section. My question is: Are the front of the frames the same? If they are, the one on the white one is still good and I'll use it to check / measure the green cart to see how bad the damage really is. Thanks, -Scott H. |

Re: DS Frame Question
Yes, the nose of the frames are the same. But before you go cutting on one, check out this little piece of information. A Club Car factory lift kit requires you to cut the frame and install Z-Brackets which drop the nose piece down, thus providing lift. These nose pieces are available for purchase either at a dealer or possibly a site sponsor. This would keep you from having to destroy one car to repair another.

Re: DS Frame Question
Thanks for the responces! I was thinking they shouldn't be different, but I had to make sure before I messed something up.

I just wanted to make sure they were the same before I took both cowls of to compare the frames and use the gasser as a pattern for the electric cart. Before I blew out the disk in my lower back I would have just jumped in with both feet, but now I ask before I jump since bending over for long periods of time can ruin the next day or two for me. Thanks again, -Scott H. |

I'm not planning on cutting the frame of the gas powered cart, only using it as a pattern to fix the electric one. Thanks again, -Scott H. |

Re: DS Frame Question
Thank you for the advice! I have a very high tolerance to pain and do not take pain meds until I absolutely have to. Usually it's only an asprin or two though.
Trust me, after I blew out the disk I learned real quick what my limits were. Going from being able to do anything one second to not being able to move the next is a tough reminder and not one easily forgotten! People that don't have back problems may not understand, but just like the both of us know: It's not if, it's when, you move wrong you are in major pain. Thanks again, -Scott H. |

Re: DS Frame Question
Good luck on your pain levels as I have used increasingly bigger doses of morphine to make pain just liveable? I work from the seat of my handicaped scooter and when needed jack cart up to my level ( I have built a swivel rack so able to tilt from side to side for under side access ) rather than DOWN to its level?
