Re: Mark 7 Premium Caster Mounting
Thanks again for your continuing thoughts and possible solutions. Without going through all the checks I have done, following some of your suggestions, it turns out that the pistons were not fully inserted in the housing. Here is what I had to do: I placed the assembly in my vice and used my full bo...

Re: Mark 7 Premium Caster Mounting
Regarding the templates measurement, yes, the holes are space 4 5/32nd's inches apart. Which is what the pre-drilled were set at. Have not been able to take the wheels out to measure their depth yet, as the Mark 7 legs are now resting some wood to keep the wheels free. Will work on that tomorrow.

Re: Mark 7 Premium Caster Mounting
Thanks for everyone's response. Will certainly follow the advice to not drill and agree that for a new product developed over years of time, one should not have to drill. Just had some friends turn the Mark 7 upright, and as I thought, it does stand proud in the retracted position. Have not yet meas...

I received several different sets instructions as well as templates for drilling new holes. When I follow the template instructions it appears all holes have already been drilled. When I...

Re: Advice for Potential Buyer
OK, I was a bit slow on the draw here, Mark VII vs. Mark 7!! I assumed that a newer Mark V would be a Mark VII, thanks for catching that. I would be surprised if I ended up with a Mark VII, when I thought I was ordering a Mark 7.

Re: Advice for Potential Buyer
I had wondered about casters placed myself, but I think you are suggesting that casters are an optional add on. I will check that out. If so that would be great. I placed casters on the workbench I built and am glad I did. Appreciate the caution regarding your wife's car. I am in the same situation....

Re: Advice for Potential Buyer
Thank you for your quick and helpful response. I didn't realize there was an older Mark VII model, so appreciate the counsel. If I am understanding correctly the newer Mark VII is about the upgraded Mark V? Is there a reason one would buy and upgrade a Mark V rather than a straight out purchase of a...
