Just a test, I know, but I'm interested in how you mounted the panhard to the axle! Any more photos?

Mulling this over and I was thinking of just welding a stud to the housing, assuming it's steel and not iron...

Hehe, it's only sort of a test. :)

The axle side is/was much easier than the chassis side.
I've got a buttload of pictures and since you asked nicely...

It's a sorta copy of MM's design but a mirror image and from scratch. :pimp:
The factory lower control arm bracket is steel but I didn't want anything on there permanent ie welded in place.

Cool! Thanks!

I'm not at all familiar with any of the aftermarket pieces... I wonder if I couldn't get away with a simpler gusseted mount welded to the axle tube just inboard of the LCA mount... hmm... I guess clearance for the chassis mount might be an issue... I need to go look at an old torino or galaxie.

Thanks again!

If you're not worried about having tailpipes, the chassis mount can be much simpler. The other goal is to have clearance for the differential as it moves through it's arc during suspension travel so that's why the axle side is cantilevered out like that. I've gusseted the heck out of it to reduce (eliminate?) it bending itself to death. The main 'U' is 3/16" and the rest is 1/8" plate.
