I wonder how much extra stress they put on the radius arm axle mounts?

What the Ruskies can do when they put their minds to can be staggering.
I followed their engineering mods to a humble Makarov Co2 Pistol and their results never ceased to amaze.

Hi ilten
I've just tried looking for it too, but couldn't find it. Maybe they've gone under or something. Pity, because they had some really nice Jimny-specific stuff. I think it may have been on of Renard83's threads on this site that I first saw the link to their website/shop.
Not that it matters any more, but it wasn't just a bolt-on portal hub they were selling, but the entire axle assembly with portals on the end. I never saw any reviews as to how good/reliable they were though.
