Valentine Posted August 9, 2020 Report Posted August 9, 2020 I've wanted to make one of these for a while. Finally got a used Zuca bag for cheap. It was the Sport model with 4 rollerblade type wheels. I have since mounted two of those wheels so it can roll on its back for loading. I removed the wheels and put the foam filled disc golf cart wheels onto it. I used a bushing to fit a longer bolt through the larger wheel bearing rather than drilling a bigger hole in the frame. I did actually have to widen the frame hole a little bit. I extended the legs with aluminum tubing, perfect fit, with the bolt through it to keep it on. Rubber stoppers on bottom. To make the folding table, 8020 aluminum pieces. One bolt fits into the original 1/4" hole of the frame. I drilled the second bolt hole. You do have to grind away some of the sides around the top where the plastic handle folds into for the folding shelf to sit flat when it is down. And then relocate the two screws that hold that piece in place. The tubes, water bottle holder and boom holder are all bolted in with Rivnuts. Highly recommend getting the rivnut tool, lets you mount stuff without drilling right through both sides of the frame and looks really clean. Quote
Nate C Posted August 9, 2020 Report Posted August 9, 2020 Nice work with the folding top. Will second the recommendation of getting a Rivnut tool. Quote

Some of their specialty parts are very pricey. Quote
Valentine Posted November 2, 2020 Author Report Posted November 2, 2020 Here are the parts I ordered and these are Canadian prices from a place in Quebec. I am extremely happy with the quality of this miniature cart. I truly have been beating it to hell, rolling it behind speeding golf carts, through snow, over curbs etc. I love it, already got my money's worth for sure. Eventually the handle will probably fall off since that is the weak link here but it hasn't happened yet. Quote
L7NirvanaLove Posted August 14, 2022 Report Posted August 14, 2022 Resurrecting an old thread but I wanted to know what you used at the bottom to hold the boom pole off the ground. I guessing you used a quick fist up top but curious about the bottom Quote
Rick Reineke Posted August 15, 2022 Report Posted August 15, 2022 I have used a PVC pipe cap on other simular projects. Quote
L7NirvanaLove Posted August 18, 2022 Report Posted August 18, 2022 Thanks for the idea On 8/15/2022 at 9:51 AM, Rick Reineke said: I have used a PVC pipe cap on other simular projects. Quote
Valentine Posted August 20, 2022 Author Report Posted August 20, 2022 It is just a PVC cap with a piece of PVC pipe in it. There is an L bracket through the bottom to hold it onto the cart. Quote

Jorge Ren Posted February 13 Report Posted February 13 Hi there! I’m building mine right now and wondering what did you use for the wheels? What modifications / parts you used for that? Quote
