Volvo 480 Club Europe

Hi Folks,

A parts fabricator I have used quite a few times among other folks on here I'm sure also is in the process of making up adjustable panhard rods for the 480, handy bit of kit if you're lowering your 480 and want to even everything up on the back end and correct axle shift and other geometry like thrust angle!

That'll be me!

Posted my panhard to Eden of GizFab last week and he has patterned it already. I saw he had a good selection of adjustable Japanese panhards on ebay (Micras... Sylvias etc) and his website looked good. I emailed him and he sounded keen. Looks like he has updated his website already!

Really look forward to delivery.

Not only is the 'adjustability' handy for my Lesjöfors kit, but rod wall thickness was seriously compromised due to corrosion. Win win.

A full fitment report will be part of my 480 diary - but we are still a long way off bolting on shiny parts... the enjoyable part!

I actually have had 2 from him in the past haha! although in the past I merely got the straight centre section along with the adjustable section fitted then fitted oem ends to it myself, ive had a catchcan from him in the past however

Yeah I did think about cutting and inserting an adjustable part myself, but considering the corrosion and the state of the bushes - by the time I had faffed about welding, paid for shot blasting, powder coat, new bushes etc. I'll be at GizFab prices anyway for something custom made, so got the wallet out. This is becoming a recurring theme!

Get used too it! It doesnt get any better haha!

Think I was first on the list!
