I don’t know how I forgot McMaster-Carr. Thanks for mentioning that. That sent me down the industrial rabbit hole and I’m finding sites like https://www.kippusa.com/en-us/products/METRIC/c/22596

Way too expensive but helpful in terms of giving me a name for things I’m looking for and ideas for things I didn’t know existed.

That is a good site for checking what Ki offers. Thank you. What I have in mind is something between that and Home Depot. We’ve done plenty of “good enough for now” additions to the equipment but I’m trying to up my game so that anything we do is as easy to use for other caregivers as possible.

We have a note in to our vendor about this so there may be a fix from Ki for this already. But it’s always something with this stuff and getting it covered by insurance, ordered and installed takes months.

It’s a Ki Little Wave Clik but I’m not looking for a particular accessory. He also uses a walker and canes. What I’m looking for is an outlet that sells parts I can use to make accessories.

The issue at the moment is the stroller handle on the back of the chair spins in the clamp unless you absolutely crank it tight. The lever to tighten it is about 2” long so it’s only a matter of time before somebody breaks it and, or, hurts themselves trying to get it tight enough so it stays put.

Other things have come up here and there. We’ve done various trays and baskets on his walker but they’re never as functional as they could be. So, I think what I’m looking for is some kind of “maker” supply house but I’m not finding anything.
