Well it's nasty case of the rear panhard not being connected to the chassis any longer.

The chassis bracket (not the axle bracket) has sheared and gone.

I've decided on a new bracket rather than fab a bit onto the base (if possible).  That's where it got interesting!

Amayama, (usually pretty good for all bits), couldn't source the part 51502-60010.  It would need grinding off of the old bracket and welding on, but that's fine.

Luckily there's a nice man in the USA on e bay who seemingly has a new one in stock and was happy to take a lot of money to send it to me.  Still waiting, but i do worry he will suddenly find his shelf is actually empty.

Has anyone else had to replace this bit?  It's one of man rusty bits i've dealt with (new rear antiroll bar on order...), but all the chat seems to be about the axle end.

looks a bit like that - but with the bottom bit still there...
