chimp 299 Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 find a local welding fabricator and ask them to make yu some in there lunch break , give them a rough drawing of what you want (telescopic better) and all you have to do is paint them . i had some made but i forgot to tell him to make them adjustable , they are ok but not ideal Quote Link to post
