W/C parts

[Guest guest]

Wonder if anyone can help me find a source for random w/c parts, everything from replacement wheels, anti tippers, to upholstery pieces. I seem to remember from the dark ages a mail order catalogue that would fit the bill, but can't remember the Co.name. We find we are really being taken to the cleaners by the local vendor we are using. Thanks in advance for any leads.

We use Alco. Don't have their catalogue here, but found their web site at www.hospitalnetwork.com/storefronts/alco.html.

You might try contacting your local non-profit Center for Independent

Living for their resource. Also, Muscular Dystrophy Association locally

may have a cache of parts to share.

Good luck
