Finally I made the panhard rod. The rod itself is 25x2mm seamless tube with a spherical bearing on one end and a metalistic bush on the other end. On one side I have welded in a threaded bush (M12) to mount the bearing (rose joint). The end has been welded and I have made 4 plug welds. To do so, in the rod I have drilled 7mm holes. Then I inserted the bush and welded up the holes. In this way the connection will be superstrong.
The other side is 'normal', fitted with a metalistic bush.
The 'rose jointed' end of the panhard rod. Although grinded smooth, you can still see the plug welds.
The right-hand side. Tack welded only. It was a bit of a puzzle how to route the handbrake cable.
An overview picture of the panhard rod. (The white spot on the diff seems to be the first snow in my workshop :))
