Hi Martyn I checked this morning and the design of the Mulberry panhard rid fixing is such that at the fixed end bolted to the chassis you refer to, near the fuel pipe the panhard rod is bolted to a universal joint on this end allowing the other end attached to the spring on the other side to go up and down, the vertical distance between the rod and fuel pipe is about. 1.5 inches, so the rod at the other end would have to lift about 6 inches I guess for the rod to touch the fuel pipe (I suppose I could do the trigonometry and work it out), anyway but the the tyre would be touching the wheel arch. So it looks good, anyway thanks, it was worth checking.
