A few of you have asked for a post for the klemz/bassboy seat. It took me a while to get materials etc, but here you go. I am still trying source all black grade 8 hardware, so you may get gold, but you get the point.

The finished picture shows a post I spray painted black. You would have to paint your own.

Pm me for details

Nice! Does it get tight enough to the tree camming the seat over with the buckle tight? Never used one like that before but have seen pics of that setup

It gets very tight. You can always tighten it like you would an assassin by standing on the post and lifting the seat with your other foot then recamming the seat.

I have used this method as well as a rope mod with amsteel with great success.

Ernie sent me a prototype and I can verify it tightens down rock solid. I really really really like the Klemz style. IMO it's superior to the seat-style we're currently using.

Once we get the finalized SHeat complete and cast, it will no doubt be a runaway success.

Why do you always get all the coolest tools to check out?!

Ernie just built me one looking forward to getting it attached to my sole remaining original LW seat.
 
The prototype i have right now has a cam cleat (like Muddy stick) in place of the versabutton. It works AMAZINGLY well.
 
As we talked about I am building the cut down Assault platform in the same style. Have it all drilled and mocked up, just waiting on my grade 8 hardware and XOP bracket to arrive. With the seat kit do you still need the spacer to level it? That is the one point I've yet to address with mine. Toyed with a couple different ways to level it but want to see if it is even an issue, being stuck at square might not bother me.

I had a versa button on there but didn't like how it wouldn't fold down tight the platform so I threw the attachment point from Hawk Heliums on there to use witht that cam strap...Whereas some are OCD about ounces I am about compactness...a note for your new cast platform hopefully it is made to fold up tight!

Are you reinforcing the pivot point on yours? Seems with camming over that torque is going to put a lot of stress on the tube over time with 1/4" hardware?
 
The post for the seat and the base is identical with the exception of I add a 1/2" or 9/16" spacer to the bottom of the post if it is used for the base.. That puts the, platform level or slightly past center

There is a press fit insert to account for all the extra stress on the post by the bolt. This keeps the hole from deforming under stress.

That's a gen 2 seat, and in order for this post to work will require you to drill a new set of holes. If you use the existing holes, the teeth don't stick out the back as far, and there is a gap between the seat and the post causing it to over rotate.

Here is a picture of how I modified the one I had.

If you are comfortable making this modification, shoot me a pm for details on the post.
