snip Adaptively engineer a replacement... (I come from a long line of
adaptive engineers)
Off to the BORG for parts.
The chair's leg rest comes off and leaves a nice standard (kinda
standard) sized hole with a nice cross bolt thru near the bottom for a
stop... I head into the pipe section and find pleasant surprise #1 a
BORG employee that was pleasant, helpful, and .... knowledgable. snip

From the description of the employee it's obvious it wasn't Home
Depot.

I've now gotten to the point in life where I usually don't "have"
to adapt things, because of monetary restraints, and sometimes time.
However, I still do modify, adapt, or just make from scratch, because:
I can seldom buy things that are perfect for my needs. And, a LOT of
times I find that my hack job is actually the same, or even better, than
what someone's trying to sell me for healthy bucks. The whatever is
customized to my needs and wants. It often works better than the
store-bought stuff. Finally, it's good for the soul.

It's not hard, if you get your mind right.
