Panhard rod axle mount

Well Its gonna have to come off again. Same side has broken again. At least all the nut and bolts should come out nice and easy.

That's a bummer

There's a lot of metal in the axle and I would suggest you pre-heat the affected area with a large gas torch before welding - that should help to give good weld penetration.

(I'm assuming your welder is using a MIG system ).

TIG or gas would obviate the penetration problem.

Show us some before and after pictures of the repair please

Thats a worry, I suggest you get someone else to weld it this time matey

I agree, The guy I got to do it has built ships for 25 years. Think it'll be the eurostar next time I go to europe.

Well what a difference Nice new shiney nuts and bolts make. Literally whipped the back axle off again today, took me about 2 hours. Got to take it to a local fabricators tomorrow, gonna make a new mount for the one thats broke and beef up the other side. £80 sounded good to me. With a bit of luck back on for the weekend snow.
