Sixties Sam Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Here's how I did it on my 1/25 scale diner dio. There is a mistake on the photo text. Instead of a #6 screw, washer & cover at the top and #4 on the base, It should be #8 screw, washer & cover on the top, and a #6 washer on the stool base. The nylon spacers are 1" long.The screw holds the stool onto the floor, then you snap the cover in place. Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannyi Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 ..those are just too cool Sam! It actually gave me the idea of using one in my garage dio. But instead of the finish washer base, I'll mount it on an old wheel rim. That way it won't look out of place in a converted warehouse.....
