Need Help With Wheelchair Attachment - Team-BHP

v1p3r · 23rd November 2007, 21:47

Hey guys,

I need to know if there is anyone who will fit a wheelchair or a wheelchair system to a Ford Fiesta. I've seen a couple of cars with these things fitted, and now a relative needs one.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Those 'thule' cycle racks serve the purpose.That is if the wheelchair in question is collapsable.

Yup, Ferdi is pretty much the best in this field. Call him; He will give you detailed instructions over the phone / email.

If you want him to work on the car, the Ford could be sent over to Mumbai via truck.

Thanks guys, have found someone in BLR as well. Will talk to both of them, and post the BLR guy's details if it works out.

I don't think it would be possible for a physically challenged person to plonk a wheelchair onto the roof of her car.
