I'm sorry I can't explain it any better. like I said:

Imagine two 4" x 4" metal plates, with holes in all four corners, and say four 3 " bolts between the two plates. You twist one plate clockwise and the other counter-clockwise. The bolts will twist and TILT, in sort of a spiral.

One of the 4" x 4" plates, represent the chairs base, where the bolts thread into.

The other 4" x 4" plate represents the bracket attached to the gas cylinder and legs.

The reason the bolts can pull out, is because when you twsit the two plates (in the example) in opposite directions...the 4 bolts (one in each corner) will...TILT.

The ONLY way to prevent them from tilting, is to use a rigid ...thing...that the 4 bolts all have to pass thru, that has some good thickness. Like a 2 x 8.
Where the 4 bolts pass thru the 2x8...they CAN'T tilt.

Because they can't tilt, they can't twist out of the chair base.

If there was a rigid "X" of metal welded to all four spacers, then they couldn't. But that's to hard to make.

It's easier to use a piece of 2x8 with 4 holes in it, to ACT as a rigid "X" welded between the spacers.

Trust me. You need a piece of 2x8 like in the pic I drew. The pic is a side view, ofc.

Friend walks in room while he's computing, and says here's a beer ...catch...he spins...the bolts twist/tilt and rip out of the chair base.

/e Sorry, I never did 3D modeling, so I can't draw what I mean...very easily. :(

Well I could with a pencil, but not with a computer. :/


/ee @OP, that's not the right formula.

Maybe you weigh 98 lbs. How the fuk should I know.

/e I'm not saying your way won't work. I'm saying that a 10" piece of 2x8, will make it unbreakable.
