BT7 Panhard Rod

You have to remember that Marty has since passed away so his posts may have been removed .

I would find that weird. His business or wife if he has one would have to request that I'd imagine. Dave Russell still has 2 pages of posts and he passed long before Martin.

A lot of talk about panrods without any visuals. I wouldn't drive a big Healey-6 at speed without one.....

A racer put a GoPro camera in the axle well of a Big Healey and did a few laps. It's amazing--and a bit unnerving--how much the axle dances around, even with a panhard rod. Anybody have that video?

Here you go Bob:

BTW, the Panhard rod does little or nothing to stop this. I had to add radius rods to mine to stop the axle from winding up like that.

Let’s be fair here
Theres a whole lot of difference between the way a weekend historic race car is driven and a road going classic weekend and sunny days car .

Thanks, John.

Ah ha , mystery solved I have a Jule superstructure so no bracket on the frame rail so no panhard rod for me .
Anyone need a panhard rod and axle bracket with all new bushings etc ?
Its years since I got this superstructure from Marty at Jule and I vaguely remember him saying something about not needing the panhard rod due to his frame design and spring setup .
Anyone else out there with a BT7 and Jule frame etc care to chime in ?

Is your Panhard assembly still available? If so, how much are you wanting for it?

I do still have it, but the shipping cost from Canada would be ridiculously expensive. Moss would be a better option unless you're after original parts?
