I am looking for an easier way to help my husband by winding the legs down for him via my wheelchair.A longer attachment.

An attachment to the drill ( I bought him) to make it longer as 2 legs are a easy to get to but the other 2 are further underneath.

It measures 2cm across the middle and each hexagon shape are 1 cm.

 I have no idea if all Pennine Fiesta 2005 are the same as the other Pennines.

Any ideas please on how or where I can get this gadget.

Thanks

Thanks Peter

Are they the same size for all then as that would mean I would not make the mistake of buying the wrong size

Thank you all now I can do it myself. The more I can do the better I like it.

Hi Chrissie, Due to me having Replacement Knees, I cannot kneel down and so trying to locate the wind-down nuts with the extension winder attachment on my Pennine Pathfinder, was a real pain in the butt.

So I devised these guides that fit over the winder nut and now I can slide the extension straight onto the nuts while standing up and just bending over.

They are made up using blocks of wood and some plastic Waste Pipe.

I think 19mm socket heads are required size wise whatever attachement they are attached to

Thanks sunshine I ordered one off of eBay but it was a main shop on there anyway. The link was via here, so that is on its way. Will save a lot. Got the foot long one not the 20 inch we saw them on hols and they looked as if they would break as it liked as if it was bending.

Anyway Thanks for your reply

I don't know what the distances are for a Pennine Fiesta but on the Pennine Pathfinder, the Front steady legs are further back than the Rear ones, hence if you look at the Pics, the top one has 3 clamps to the 2 in the bottom (rear) tubes.

Because of this extra length, I bough a 19mm socket with two 1/4 inch drive extensions and I Araldited them all together to make up an extra long extension.

At first I used a 12v rechargable drill to use for these steady legs but more recently I have changed to a 14v as it has extra oomph.

I also use Wurmi Screw In Pegs for the Pathfinder Skirts and Awning and this drill does these as well. Not so much for the ease of putting in the pegs , but for the ease of getting the sods out again.

How right you are about pulling them out even I have nearly fallen out of my wheelie trying to pull them out and the earth was just sucking them tight.They seem to be the same in the Pennine range as our steadies also are more awkward to get to at the back than the front.

I have kept all your info, printed it off for my folder.

Thanks Lobbydosser
