for anyone who is in the market for a panhard rod, definitely go with trackbird's panhard rods. they are great quality and i'm very happy with the fitment and adjustability. i give them (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif) .

So, I'm only 50% over weight.

Actually, if you want to be "13 decimal places accurate" you're 100% over weight. He's 50% of yours. That old, "percent of what?" question.... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

As for the rest of the hardware, I was ignoring his "center adjustment" style since you obviously won't build one this way and he probably won't when his next design of the week comes along....

If you go to thinner wall steel tubing, you'd need to weld in tube ends as well...use the same rod ends, same jam nuts, etc the difference in weight of the tube should give you a good idea of the difference in weight of the final product how most people build them. If you go with swedged tubing that's threaded, that will save you the weight of the ends of course.
