Default Bonneville Office Chair

I want to make an office chair with a Bonneville seat, and I was just wondering...

Do you guys think the standard gas operated 5 leg wheel thingy is big enough to hold a bonneville seat without falling over? I have a spare one so I would like to use it....

Yeah I saw that....I don't think my base sticks out that far on all the legs. I guess it will be trial and error.

Anyone know what he put under the chair to connect it to the base part?

I sat in that chair recently.

It'* good..but a little crooked. I think the base lined up enough with the seat track to do it..

and yes the chair is crooked bacause the old seat base has been bent and welded....the Bonne chair lines up with the seat tracks..i did have to do a small modification, but i got lucky otherwise
