to be considered a shower it does not have to be taken by mouth. Some like it like that but I've never done that before. I've only had golden consumption.. are there any other questions?
ok so here are the major components (excluding the pipe) that I have found so far.
Eye Bolts-

Springs- I decided not to go with the trampoline springs but rather something that I know will hold up. At 95# workload my chair will be 30% stronger than the original chair. More than worth it for me.

O Rings- on the original chair, the springs are attached to the seat by rings. I think I like that look better than drilling through the pipe. An engineer friend of mine said he would try the oval ones; I was thinking the 1in Os. what do you guys think?

Toilet Seat- it's commercial grade, and at 2.5in thick, it should stand up to the drilling and countersinking without cracking.

I'll be getting the top and bottom frame welded together, leaving the middle bars so I can change them out for length. I want to make this fucker as strong as I can.
once I countersink the bolts, I'm thinking about covering over the whole seat with resin to reinforce strength and make it shiny. I have a quart or so in the garage. Do you think that is doing too much?
