    Hi @Merlin22 - & welcome to the community. Have you tried approaching the manufacturer, or tried Googling for some images?

    Yes and yes, autochair don’t want to know unless they or their agents supply and fit, unbelievable for something held in by a few bolts

    How frustrating - yes on their website it does look all about them fitting things. I hope someone else has an answer for you.

    Hello @Merlin22 to help other members find your query I've moved it over into out Aids and Adaptions category. 

    Hopefully someone with a similar adaption can share their thoughts, but I'd always encourage that anything as important as a car adaption is fitted by those trained to do it. 

    Is your car leased through Motability at all? They have a search function for installers of various adaptions if that would be helpful, hopefully so :) 

    There's also information on grants to help cover the cost of Motability products, which you may be eligible for.

    If there's anything further you feel we can help with, please do let us know.

    Alex
