Need to have a bit measure up and see what size joints, tube etc id need?? Any ideas lol

ORA ones are 6mm!! wall tube, thats pretty hefty isnt it!

Also, if your using a tube with rose joints are you welding in a threaded insert or a nut on the end like others do?

im not sure how much longer they need to go either, with a 3" lift how much longer do the panhards need to be.... confusing lol!

you want 12mm rose joints as iv been told the bolt size is 12mm. im going to use threaded insert and a nyloc nut to tighten it all up. im only using 2.94mm wall thickness but it is thick enough for me and works out perect size on 3/4" tubing. to get length take off original, rock car sideways, leave to settle and measure

i presume you meen 3/4" i/d tube your using ???

ive just ordered some 26.9mm o/d 3mm wall to make mine but im going the m20 threaded rod way.

i was going to just mod my standard rods but decided to just make them from scratch as they will be a little stronger than standard ones
