Panhard Bar...
Panhard Bar...
Hey guys... Can someone tell me who carries the set-up for the panhard bar? I know there is a company that has a kit that you weld in and your done... However I just cant think of it...
SCCAIT7, if your road racing your car (dumb comment to a guy who has a IT7 car) you might want to analyze the tracks you run & select your Panhard bar accordingly. The rear roll center changes relative to turn direction. My tracks have important right hand turns therefore I bought a Panhard bar that attached to the chassis at the left hand side which will lower the rear roll center as right hand turns are made.
ISC racing from FL had a 1st gen kit they sold that was in pieces that you could weld in either way.
The parts & the car are now gone so I can't measure.
Both the bracket for the axle & the main bracket for the chassis were made from 2 inch x 1 inch x 1/8 inch wall tubing. The diagonal round tube that went from the chassis to the low end of the chassis bracket was 1 inch O.D with maybe a 3/16 inch wall. There were two 1/8 inch thick x 4 inch long with a 90* bent legs that fit the frame dimensions at the round tube diagonal mounting at the chassis & for the main bracket attached to the chassis. The Panhard bar had IIRC 3/4 inch diameter rod ends. Make the lowest hole mounting for the Panhard bar to be at a level with the bottom of the rearend with say four adjustments upward.
