goes to show how much the wof guys actually know ah
same deal with suspention lifts etc but thats already an ongoing topic
back to topic yes they sould be designed to lift the person up over the vehicle not push them down and underneath

whether its being look at is of course another issue

You definitly need either PTFE tape or something designed for pneumatic joint sealing.
I use

Looks good!! A little similar to the bar that was made for mine (plug, thanks 4wd accessories) though mine sits forward a little...
I didn't know about that forward bar angle thing.. Has anybody been pulled up at WOF time with that issue?

I sorted out some of the Lada parts.
During the week I got the spare brake discs skimmed (they were rusty from sitting around), so they are ready to fit.
I also pulled out the Lada alternator so I can see what condition it is in, to try and avoid buying one as I have no spare
