Excellent job. I wish I had the skill to reproduce those results. I'll be trying to do some kind of a DIY bench fold-&-tumble arrangement with very simple upholstery. I'll need easy access to the areas behind/under the seat for access to the air suspension compressor and tank. I already have the hinge arrangement between the seat back and base...a heavy duty setup from a power wheelchair.
Potvin's setup interests me because his configuration has key similarities to my needs...

Build your own to fit you specifications. Follow these simple instructions. It is easy and a whole lot better than trying to adapt something to fit your needs.

Potvin's setup interests me because his configuration has key similarities to my needs...
- The seat setting very near the floor, especially at the rear
- A fixed angle between the back and bottom of the seat...in my case 102 degrees
- The need for thigh support
- If not a bench base cushion, the separate cushions need to be flat and close together
