find a base from a chair that has a good base and a wrecked chair part.
Cut a piece of plywood large enough to mount the chair on, attach the plywood to the chair base and then attach the 240 seat to the plywood. I used pieces of 2x2's to mount the seat to the plywood. Use deck screws to attach the sides of the seat frame, there are holes where the sliding rack mounts, I used fender washers with the side mounting screws. Then use deck screws to attach 2x2's to the plywood - coming up through the base. play around with fore & aft center of balance to find the right location for easy tilting, if the base has that feature.
As far as the TV lounger, cut a plywood base that fits the bottom of the slide rack. Leave the slide rack on, it allows you to change the angle of the seat base.
Layout two arcs on 2x6 lumber, the arc should be as large as a rocking chair base. Cut the arcs, sand them smooth, then use screws to mount the rockers to the plywood base. If the arc of the rockers are not part of a true circle, the rocking motion will be compromised.
The position is very comfortable, the seats are low to the floor, recline back with your favorite popcorn & a movie...
If these directions seem muddy, I am distracted by typing with one hand - other hand is in a sling - fractured humerus...
Shifting the 4spd 242 should be fun monday am...
