Upcountry Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I've got a good chair with a pneumatic gas cylinder that is wearing out. It's good news that we can actually buy replacements for these things instead of having to replace the entire chair. I can by one online and import it, (example, http://www.echairparts.com/servlet/the-Pneumatic-Gas-Cylinders/Categories) but I'd like to find a seller in Thailand if I can. Anybody know one?

lopburi3 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Timely reminder as mine has started to go South (down) so just used that site to order a replacement - very easy to use and shipping was $19.95 so not too bad. Have had very poor luck with locally sold chairs so a bit less than optimistic that local replacements would be good for those at 90kg or more. Find recommendations to soak with WD-40 for a day before trying to take apart unit on chair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunFon Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Personally I don't need to actually be able to move it up and down once I've got it adjusted, so a fixed-length bit of rod welded to fit worked for me, total cost 350B - but I've gotten to know a few of the shops in the engineering shophouse neighborhood around the corner from me, might be a little more than that for others. I've found sourcing parts like that so difficult it's usually cheaper to buy a new product, if you value your time that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rancid Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Yeah, they always die before the chair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
