Re: Panhard Bar "Do It Yourself"
I bought a set from Snyder's. The rear is really sturdy. The mount on the frame for the front flexes quite easily so I only have the rear on for now.

Re: Panhard Bar "Do It Yourself"
Well Paul, it couldn't be easier to make. Do you have a local steel fabricators to weld up the bracket and the balls? I could price the whole thing in £s but you can get hold of the parts much cheaper than me.

Re: Panhard Bar "Do It Yourself"
For those that followed the front end, Mark has now worked out a neat way to do the rear, and the result is quite amazing in terms of the car now tracking like an arrow....really worth doing. here are the pics.
Again using all Model A track rod parts. |

Re: Panhard Bar "Do It Yourself"
I like the idea,but don't want to drill holes in the axle,I wonder if some sort of clamp could be fabricated.

Re: Panhard Bar "Do It Yourself"
Rocket, there are no holes drilled in rear axle, just in cross member. Do you mean front axle? It would be possible to make some kind of bracket, just couldn't see how to do it and make it look as invisible as possible, which was one of the main criteria.

Re: Panhard Bar "Do It Yourself"
Thanks Tom. Nice job. A lot of people do not think a buggy spring car can handle although they sure could in the early dirt track days. Glad it worked out.

Re: Panhard Bar "Do It Yourself"
FWIW on Model A swaying:
After witnessing complete failure of a few of the so called "re-built" Model A shocks offered today which were tested with the K. R. Wilson Tool method, (recommended in Ford's February 1931 Service Bulletin), it appears obvious if one has maladjusted shocks with totally reverse shocking action, swaying & bouncing a heavy engine unevenly can have an adverse effect on how the engine's weight is thrown around on a non-level highway. |

Re: Panhard Bar "Do It Yourself"
i would merely lock a shackle, because i like to save parts. Should work very much the same, right?
