Jonny2TG Forums Junkie Location: Tasmania Registered: May 2002	Re: Mono Leaf Springs Sat, 13 September 2003 14:23 I have added a extra leaf for stiffness, and used wagon leaves also, slightly stiffer again. And I have added a panhard rod. I am quite happy with a panhard rod, no need to go watts link. If the panhard rod is mounted sort of horizontal, and the leafs are stiff, there is not that much movement sideways and using a panhard rod is not a problem. I have seen race Escorts with leafs and panhard rod. I would also like to go to a mono leaf, for the sake of weight. Only if the mono leaf was as stiff as what I have now. Do we use a thicker leaf? I think a mono leaf giving a single rate spring rather than progressive would be a great thing on a light race car. As long as you don't have fat people in the rear. I will be using rod ends and a adjuster on my new panhard rod when I get time to make it. More of an issue at the moment is tramp. (Only aplicable to burnouts realy). I may make a tramp rod as with Toms TE27 in the USA, not sure what to do about that yet. [Report message to a moderator]
