Dang. I'm afraid of messing it up. Is there a tutorial on how to mod it to be non folding and everything? And directions on how to move the axle? I really should've spent the money to get one made.. but my budget was a bit tight for that.tony.latham wrote:dsotto wrote:Also, is it super important to move the axle back to 40" from the rear?

You probably need to move it back (anyway) to allow the door to open. The door should be located so when you sit up, your hip is right next to it and you can pivot and step out.

We finally got it done!! Didn't move the axle. First time was not fun. Second time would definitely go betterbdosborn wrote:dsotto wrote:Also, is it super important to move the axle back to 40" from the rear?

I didn't move the axle when I built on a HF frame, I didn't have any problems with the doors.
