    Try APT Fabrications, they advertise on here. They make one for a RRC, so should have one for yours.

    Just fitted a TerraFirma adjustable Panard rod over the week end, along with reinforced steering rods.

    30mm diameter with 5mm wall thickness, high tensile steel tube, 20mm precision machined threaded adjustable end, came with poly bushes ready to fit.

    Panard Rod = $267.

    Steering Rods = $300

    Cheers

    Ah ,the adjustable panhard rod, one of the most UNDER rated mods to do , have to laugh every time I walk around a coil landrover RRC/Defer/Disco and see the Rhs wheel hangingong a inch further out than the LHS ,and the owner whining about short front uni life/front shaft vibrations'weird steering issues /cardan joint life etc etc .The adjustable Panhard rod seems to be de-riguer on the the Toynissans ,but for some reason the landy owners think they dont need it , strange !

    Is it not better to raise the P Rod axle mount the same amount as the lift?

    I have read from a few people that know way more than me that adj panhard rods are not the best idea....Look at the relation between the panhard and the draglink

    btw if you think that some cranked arms and a adj panhard rod will solve all your problems then you may find reality getting in the way.

    how much lift do you really need on a road driven vehicle?

    So guys what's the bad points about adjustable panhards ? If an adjustable one is no good the only option left is to make a new one that is of a corrected fixed length and fit it ? Then of course there's the problem of proving to an engineer that the new one is as strong if not stronger than the original...Same as the dilemma I am having with trailing arms at the moment..
