Help! Safari panhard rod needed in BOP

[Mark]

I bent the panhard rod on my Safari on a trip a month or so back. Straightened it out as best I could and then ran out of time to fix it up properly before bringing it up to Tauranga for NY and to go and have a look at Thompson's Track.

However, on the way up I was doing some reasonably serious cornering over Vinegar Hill and suddenly noticed that my drivers side rear wheel was sticking out a couple of inches further than normal out the drivers side! Doh!

Straightened it up again with the jack, then playing silly buggers over a roundabout and out she goes again...

So, unless I can get hold of a new one I won't be able to head up Thompson's for a look this time. Does anybody have either a spare factory one or an adjustable one that they are not using and want to sell?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks coxsy. I managed to get hold of Furgus from this site and he had some steel and a welder that I could borrow to patch it up enough to get home. But it's much appreciated for the offer.

Brian Howat can make you a stronger one apparantly, may want to investigate that? factpry ones tend to bend easy I've heard.

Has Doddzee or someone else got a spare one in Welly?

hey all i did wen mine broke was weld a piece of angle iron the full length to it and good as and stonger than b4

[Mark]

Yeah, that's basically what we did. But rather than us angle iron (because we couldn't get hold of any because everything was shut) we found a waratah at Furgus's place and welded that on. Worked perfectly up Thompson's today
