  3. I made that from a 2CV steering arm and track rod. The joint is like a miniature 30s Ford unit. Not easy to find in the US but a search of the breakers yard would produce something similar that could be adapted. I have a more conventional Demon Tweeks universal Panhard bar on the back.

    DO NOT use one of those miniature, 2' long bars.
    Use a bar that is as long as you can make it.
    This will go a long way toward a good handling car.

  6. Very good advice right there.^^^^
     
  7. It depends what the suspension travel is... The arc of a two foot bar over eight inches of travel is significant. Over two inches, not so much and definitely better than the deflection without

    59-64 Chevys have nice ones. Check the mounting position to see how to do it right.
