Re: ADJ KZN130 PANROD
Easiest option is to make your existing panhard adjustable....real easy if you can weld.
Go to Blacks Fasteners (or similar place) & buy a 3 foot length of 7/8th UNC threaded rod & 2 nuts.
Cut the threaded rod in half.
Measure how long your panhard is from centre to centre of the mounting holes.(THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR LATER ON)
Now about 8inches from the upper end cut about 4 inches out of the panhard rod. (cuts must be square & then deburr the inside edges)
Push rod (cut end) all the way up the short piece & weld it in place.
Thread boths nuts onto the threaded rod.
Now push the threaded rod into the panhard rod as far as you can
(this will help to keep it straight)
Now weld the outside nut to the panhard rod.
The inside nut is your lock nut.
Your now all done ....
Adjust the panhard to a little over your measure length & you should be right.
Not the most technical write up but im sure youll get the idea.
