The Ford Barn

I have a '41 sedan and would like to install a rear '47-'48 panhard. Can anyone post a photo or two of the panhard installed so that I know just what to do? I found a panhard that has a large bracket with a couple of bolts on one end and a loop on the other, and really don't know what to do to complete the installation. The car has a front anti-roll installed, would it be a good idea to install a front panhard also? Thanks, Dave

I've never seen a rear panhard bar on a '41. Mine had "bumpers" cast into the rear end that basically locked the rear from moving side to side(panhard function). I tried both with and without anti-roll on the front. Definitely need anti-roll. Tried front '47 panhard and very rough ride. I believe the '41 front geometry with a '47 panhard interferred with each other but mine is not stock height.
