Title: 26" Leg Socket Woes; 11 Years Later

The link goes back to a time that this forum was THE authority for all things Weber.
 Now it's pretty quiet around here.

My front leg socket is getting loose again. I'm surprised that it took this long because the 26 has been the primary cooker for the last five years or so.
This time I ordered the Spider cart for 26" kettles. I will let you know how it goes!

My first thought was "Spider Cart!" but you beat me to it.  I'm definitely looking forward to seeing how the kettle looks mounted in it.  :)

I bought mine with no legs! All 3 had broken off. Luckily guy had the sockets, which I bolted on. It does limit the sweeper blades to only open or closed (can't do sweeper cleaning - but I don't do that anyway). Spider carts are awesome would love it if they sold over here. Look forward to seeing pics!

If I could post pictures here I would be glad to share!
I somehow lost that ability a while back and just can't figure it out.

Same issues here! Finally received my 26 Spider Cart only to realize that the port I added for the billows fan is in the way of leg connection..

I'm sorry to hear that your port is in the way.
My cart will arrive this week, but it may be next month before I can do anything with it.
