No need to drill anything as they line up directly with an existing nut / bolt on the chassis / tub joint line

Was surprised it was such a noticeable difference - much more of a "solid" feeling at the front end

Which did get me thinking about a panhard rod....... but do I really "need" one for burbling round the roads?

I had exactly the same experience with BRBs. I then fitted a PR, and that made a related, but more pronounced change, believe me - even at slow speeds. Of course you don't need it, as you did not need the BRBs. But then who really needs a Morgan... It's all about fun, pleasure and the driving experience. But a PR is much more expensive and fiddly to fit.
My best three mods:
1. Convex, round stainless steel side mirrors instead of the flat, oval alloy/bad chrome side mirrors + convex front screen SS mirror instead of flat alloy OE.
2. Brake reaction stays
3. Panhard rod
By the way, excellent thread. I encourage all newcomers to read!



It's strange......... I've just realised... When I bought my car 3 months ago I paid to have chrome wire wheels fitted rather than the painted stainless wire wheels (Modification No 1....)
5 weeks after delivery - I bought replacement "2 ear" knock off wheel nuts to replace the octagonal chrome ones (Modification No 2...)

So I have carried out 3 modifications - but only "remembered" the cheapest - The BRB's @£40

I'm now researching Panhard Rods ............. I do fancy fitting them myself - Wish I had a decent sized garage / workshop frown
