Default Rear Seat Installation

Finally got a rear sear for Frugal Dugal. It was a bolt-on replacement on the Club Car after removing the basket, bag rack, etc. I then opted for a set of heavy duty rear leaf springs from Buggies Unlimited. Getting the old springs off was the bad part, as the bolts tend to rust in place. A little heat plus a bigger hammer did the trick. New springs are also a bolt in installation. I mounted the optional safety handle to the foot rest on the rear sear & the bag holder bolts to this (rides backward, sitting on the foot rest). The whole thing extends about 12" longer in the rear. The result is the cart actually rides better, there is no "light steering" with a load in the rear. Cost was about $500 for the seat kit & $150 for the springs. Anyone looking for a set of single leaf springs or a rear bumper for a Club Car?
