Drive Wheelchair Foot Rest Lubrication

The flange overlapping the upright tube along the bottom of the picture hits the short protrusion and holds the rest parallel to the floor. A screw at the plastic cap near the top keeps the rests from working their way too far from the upright tube.
I can make it to the Basement Shop™ and back, paying careful attention to detail.
