They were sold with Niva's when new as an option. You cannot buy them in SA anymore. I think Ladaworld has a similar one that you can import or lend someones(mine) and make molds.

Where are the pics? Curious to see how you mounted them as square tubing can easily tear. Do you have any tube left as I can only find 4mm.

Also curious to see these pics. Any tubing with a 5m thick wall sounds really bad ass.

Dimitris that is to get his rear axel back to the center of the wheelarch.
Ari is that mud or shit on the Niva?

Hi Dimitris
So that the angle of the arm is almost the same as standard. It makes the wheel go lee backward when it goes upwards.
Hi Charles
Mud
Sorry Verushka, I let you down today. . . . You are much more capable than I am, well done for not dying on me this afternoon.

Ari, Why didn't you just make adjustable bars, which would be much easier? Is there any difference between this modification and the adjustable bar?

Hi Dimitris
In South Africa adjustable bars is at least more than 100 times more expensive than the pieces of steel which have been used by Ari.

Hi Dimitris
It does the same as adjustable bars, but better (in my opinion)

Ari, the rubbers at the front CV's seem to be quite shiny.
Are the angles at the CV's not causing a leakage of grease, or rubber boot failures ?
