DIY Kafer Brace

[zeroaxe]

I did a search on "brace" and found a post on a CSP Kafer Brace in this section of the forum, so I am posting here too(correct me if I am wrong).

I have noticed that the braces that can be bought over the counter(or net for that matter) all seem to have some adjustability. Is this really necesary? I have not noticed 'solid' bars etc. Why is this?

Reason for asking is that I am considering making my own. Yeah sure, it can be bought, but if I can make it myself instead, I would do it. I like cutting, grinding and welding stuff. Plus I can say afterwards that "I" did it If I make my own, I would have a problem knocking up the adjustable part of the braces. You know, the part with the 'eye' amd threaded bar. Plus, I dont think that I would be able to buy 'wrong way thread' threaded bar(that is left thread right?) here in the DIY shops in France. Finding specialist shops that deals in these kind of stuff is difficult to find for me. IF I make my own, and adjustablility IS NEEDED, surely I can only make one side adjustable, no?

Any help and insight is much appreciated! :agree:
