North east Jimny...........Gaz's

no 3/4" od which works out about 13mm id so perfect for the rose joints and weld the threaded insert onto the end but im considering bigger tubing and putting the threaded insert inside the tube for extra strength hmmmm

yes will be better inside the tube thats why they are called inserts

m12 inserts are 20mm o/d the tube i ordered is 20.9mm i/d so i think that size would be good for use with them inserts

ner ner hahaha

yeah iv changed to 1" tube works out about the same as yours plus when done no need for bushes ever hahahaha woooooooooo

Well i cracked on and got the front one done, didnt have time to do both today before light ran out..

Cleaned up a bit and cut in half and chopped out whats needed to make them standard width once the threads and nuts in.



Hole drilled in the short end then threaded bar welded in through there.



Quick coat of zinc primer and 20mm angle iron welded along length, very sturdy now lol!
The threaded bar also runs from all the way to the left bush and 3/4 way along the panhard so should be tough!



Fitted, at same length as standard panhard until both are fitted.




Quick lick

The last picture with it in position seems to show it completely closed, did you make it exactly the correct length?
