Work on the axle continued with finishing off the link brackets. The radius of the cut out section would need to match that off the axle in order to get a good fit. This was done by first removing large amounts of material then using a file to shape the section more accurately.
Bolt holes for the link bars were then drilled and a bolt was welded into the back of the bracket using a MIG welder to allow attachment of the panhard rod.
The opposite side pieces were also cut off and they would then be altered and reused as endplates for the section to be welded back on.
Once the link bracket had been finished it was attached to axle using a jig and checked for position and inclination to ensure it was aligned correctly. After being bolted down runs of mig weld were added down each side and on the inner sides as far as possible.
