That's looking great! What size tires did you end up using? Any clearance problems with the front wheels?

Thanks. Your old rear tires look extra heavy duty. Did you get a 5th aluminum wheels for a spare?

Looks like all 5 of your old tires are different.

When you get a spare wheel, make sure it will fit on the rear. A lot of the later 16" ones won't have a large enough hole for the hub.

Try Rockler Hardware online, they might have the part to fix the table. I haven't looked at mine in a while to see what type it uses. www.rockler.com.

its not the table ..its the chair for the dinette...the lock mechanism doesnt seem to lock so when u sit in the chair the back support wants to lay flat once your weight leans against it

Oh, the Unilounge can be a tricky beast. Mine is pretty messed up but I've worked it in all the positions. The levers seem to get bent.

You might want to flip it all the way over and take a look at what part of the mechanism is causing the problem. They're fairly stout and it seems unlikely that anything major is actually broken. The only issue I have with mine is that it seems possible to mangle fingers if you don't really focus on what you're doing - that and it needs some kind of lube that won't get all over everything. I'd like to know what you find.
