adjustable front panhard set up problem

<< < (4/5) > >>

glaggs:
Two options:-

1/ get a proper thread insert repair - most proper motor engineers will do it fo not a lot.
2/ If possible? drillthrough and put a nut on one end with a slightly longer bolt. Would need to look at mine to see if there is clearance to drill through and get a nut in.

jamesey:
option 1 sounds better , option 2 is a no go as the round of the axel only leves abot 10mm or so to play with, if i could get the captive nut off the back it might do it with a nut on the back but its just getting to it , for a temp measure the bolt that spins ive welded the nut head to the bracket so it doesnt move about or come out , the only thing is now the panhard isnt tight enough
i thought it might be better putting some threeaded bar though the mount hole with the panhard in place then welding the back of the bar up then just put a nut on the front , i know ill not be able to get the panhard off without cutting but thats life , i can live with it just welded as it is but it will eat the poly bush up i think what do you think , ill try to get a pic of what i have had done

glaggs:
The polybush should have a metal sleve through it, which the bolt in turn passes through. This should be a snug fit and will stop the bolt eating the polybush!

jamesey:
so really now ive got the front welded up where the bolt head is , and if i get the back weled up where i can see the thread poking though under the spring mount i should be ok??

glaggs:
The bolt should be tightened up against the spacer so that the only movement is in the flex of the bush.
