JMI Dolly

Alex, the problem is I’m disabled, construction, even simple builds are beyond me. I’m looking for the JMI heavy duty, in twin wheel sets Dolly.
I just canceled my order with B&H Photography as they couldn’t provide a timeframe for supply. Supply, manufacturing, industry is very sick in the US with no sign of improvement.

Above is what I’m chasing, complete and R2 go

I now understand David...what about fitting the scope to a golf buggy?
But again you need it up and running whatever the solution.
I am sorry I could not help you David but I won't stop thinking about how to get you fixed up.
