Recently bought a carp porter 3 wheel conversion.
Very happy with it except for the drop in bag dragging continuously on the ground.
Have tried tightening the adjusting screws on the back legs down tight on a raised level but it just drops/slides down due to the weight.
Do they make some sort of sleeve to keep it in a raised position?
Have looked at the spares pack available but can't see anything suitable in it.
Cheers for any advice.

unless you have the mk8 that has the silver plunge pin,i think dean only drills bolts with wing nuts on for the rear wheels,i could be wrong but that is the only way to stop the tri wheels slipping,on the mk7 ,my mate has made some stainless collars for his extreme power porter they have done the trick for him ,and look better to be fair.

Hi,
Not sure if this helps you but as an update spoke to the guy who was very helpful and suggested buying a short length of 25mm steel box section and cutting two sleeves to slide over the legs to raise the bag off the deck.
Thought about it and came up with two rubber slide on bike handles, and works spot on, actually act like shock absorbers.
Just immerse them first in boiling water from kettle to make more pliable.

Just drop a piece of steel tube inside the leg box section. The wheel section will sit against this. Use a length that sets the height you want. Problem solved.

i have just sorted my mk7 power porter rear legs from slipping. firstly cut the rear thumscrews of then just unscrew the nut with the spade end out, all you need is a m8 50mm thumb screw plus a m8 nylon insert locking nut,and for a neat look a m8 black screw cover. all you do is drill out the rear legs with a 9/10mm drill to your required height..screw the 50mm nut through original thread attach nut ,tighten the pop nut cover on.job done

I had the same problem with my mk2 rear legs slipping,bag dragging on the floor etc.
And I don't have much weight on it.
Not the best design,I just drilled the rear legs and put a dome headed bolt through.
Didn't take any drilling the metal was like tin can.

thats what dean from barrow buddies does mate, its only the mk8 that has the plunge pin so you can adjust the height, the way i have done it you can aswell .
