I helped a friend move one last weekend, don't know if it was a summit but it certainly looked like one from your pictures. Have been in various similar seats over the years and they all seem to have the same issues. Get some 2x2 make three little oblong frames, screw the two side sections to the front and attach all round with a liberal amount of good quality zip ties to the original bar and that should cure it. That is if the shooting rail is up to that in the first place and not the flimsy bendy types.Just purchased one, shooting bar far to low!
Though i'd share some photos for any other members who have one but haven't yet adapted it. Very easy fix.

They seem to be pretty variable. Like you, I have had to re-weld a couple (tricky, with the metal being so thin), but I have others that have been up for years and stayed sound.I have undertaken very similar but welded with a TIG. A word of caution, as the seat is Chinese in origin I believe, not all the TIG welds are in the right place or fully formed and the metal is not that thick, I ended up re welding mine, plus repainting with Hammerite, the final fix was squirting all the inside tubes with Waxoil ( classic car underseal). Having undertaken these fixes I have several that have been up for over 3 seasons with very little signs of rust, the one that I left original and untouched has fallen to bits after 2 years.
True, it's a coin toss between price and longevity. I think for short term or if you are prepared to reweld and repaint they are a fair price. For longer term on site its maybe better to buy a better product. As always horses for courses.They seem to be pretty variable.

I know they're pretty rubbishy, but at that price you can't complain. Not worth spending more if they're for going on short-term leases.

The only plain answer you need is:So far, no one was able to give me a clear answer in plain English...
Does anyone know what is the difference between the HSF Summit Stalker high seat "Generation II" and the previous version (assuming that at some point there was a "Generation I" version)…???
Do they come completed with the "mesh
basket" and a ratchet strap?
The early one's had a wooden seat, plastic moulded one's are luxury, always had a mesh basket
