Indians For Guns

Hello guys

This is an SOS for a paraplegic army friend of mine (injured in action) who is interested in modification/kits for a gypsy or maruti car.

He has had full recovery of arms and upper body with partial movement of feet. Since mobility is a big factor in our hill state, he needs a modified 4 wheeler. I do recall that there was somebody down south (hyderabad/bangalore??) modifying/making kits for the disabled.

Can someone identify this person and give me his contact details?? would be much appreciated..

This is a serious SOS so no wise cracks here please..

Jonah

Will ask around, Jonah.

P.S.: Just to confirm, this 'kit' would need to have automatic transmission and hand operated brake (other than handbrake) and accelerator?

Just a thought but drop Asif a line as he may know of a company that makes such kits / modifications.

There was a program on one of the news channels about a person who does these, customized as per individual requirements.Will try to trace it.

Rajesh of Ashok Motors, 94140 70083 does modify maruti's for the disabled. Decent fellow. I met him a year ago while I was having some work done on a gypsy in his workshop in Jaipur. Will call him tomorrow morning.

Hi Jonah,

Spoke to Rajesh, he mentioned the cost of the kit for hand operated clutch, brake & accelerator ( brake & accelerator is push pull type) is inr 6,000. If his people have to travel to install this kit that will be a extra charge.

Where is the vehicle that has to be fitted? is it a maruti car or gypsy?

His contact nos are 0141 234 5907 r, 0141 233 6495 workshop, 94140 70083 mobile.

hope this helps

He has given me the contact nos of a few people who these kits have been installed for. 2 of them are army officers who were injured in aciton. I was told one of them entered a record book for endurance driving.

If you wish I could send you these gentelman contact nos by PM.
