hi is there a rod available to buy, to hold the rear axle from moving or do you make one??? anyone got any pics/info cheers ben

best to make one i reckon. it very much depends on the accuracy of you brackets i think. I'd make one with rose joints so its adjustable. one left hand thread, the other right handed. some might disagree, but thats how i'd do it

YEah, speaking from experience, dont make the rod bar until you have assembled your car. Then make it to fit.

Cheers,

Same as what we did so we could ajust it for the axle to fit square in the chassis. Did intend to weld it once we were sorted but not done it yet.

I got mine from MNR. Rosejointed on both end so you can adjust out any inacuracies.

When I built mine I made one with a solid mounted bush at each end and then aligned the axle before welding the chassis bracket in place.
