sleeve over the outside or a dowel up the middle

My first port of call would be the distributor or manufacturer. They should have spares available, these aren’t £30 pieces of disposable junk, you’re paying £200+ you should expect some after sales service for the money paid….

Contact Claus (viperflex) on Facebook- you’ll find he is very very generous. When I broke a part of mine he sorted it. UK distributor just ignored his emails to them for help and he sent me what I needed directly

Thanks for the feedback guys sure has give me a line of thought.
I will contact Claus as suggested and if no response I’ll have to make good of the one I have with the dowel and possibly a piece of 22mm pipe over it .

Colin

If replacement parts don’t work have a look on eBay - you can buy carbon fibre tubing in all different OD’s and ID’s.

Hi all
Abit of an update my mate ( Dave Warbucks ) off here and I managed to slide a 22mm piece of copper pipe onto it and that is strong enough for now until I get a replacement.
I have sent an email to Claus, I’ll just wait for his response.
Thanks again to all .

Colin

Which leg did you snap ? If it’s the carbon centre piece they’re available on eBay. 18mm internal diameter, 20mm external. Don’t ask how I know

Hi it is the back leg right hand side and made of aluminium.
Claus has come back and passed me onto service-uk@viper-flex.com which I am now waiting a reply.
I’m sure they will be able to replace

A while back I forgot I left my VF sticks resting up on the front of my truck below eye view in the field, yup you guessed it started to drive off and heard a horrible bump .
Jumped out and two legs bent to almost broke .
Strapped the plastic sleeves to both areas going below and above them bound them, no wobble, they are now my when TSHTF sticks and live in the back of the truck .

I sent Claus an email last night at 9:00. He's responded this morning at 6:30 saying he'll put them in the post. What a star
