Finished the Slee DIY adjustable front panhard:

And welded in the eimkeith panhard. Fits like a glove:

BTW: If you have welding available to you, I recommend the EIMKeith bracket over the Delta Panhard bracket. It's only $105 shipped compared to $265 plus shipping from Delta, shipped fast, and is adjustable if your load or lift changes. Additionally, as you can see, it's a beautiful, beautiful piece of metal that slots into the exact shape of the OEM panhard bracket.

WOW!! Looks really nice. The panhard doesn't hit that long metal tab that is sticking out?

If you're referring to the tab on the right side of the picture, it is a reinforcement which is folded outside of the "box". The panhard rod moves inside the box, thus, no there is no interference. I think I need to provide you a picture with the panhard rod mounted, but it got too cold outside for me to finish painting. Here's a stock image from his site:

Top of the world!!! How did you break your distributor assembly?
It was on its way out I guess. Got P0340 code with CEL the 2nd day I was there. Next day no CEL for rest of the trip. Then after I make it home, I start it up and get ruff idle, stalling issues. Now with P0335, P0340, P0385 error codes. Just had the distributor assembly replaced yesterday so hopeful it will last for another 20 years.

Ahh...I see now. Yeah. That's pretty awesome.
 
While I can appreciate the black, I think a lighter color would make diagnosing leaks easier. Maybe it's all the same once you get some dirt on it. What do I know. :meh:

When you paint your block you can paint it any color you want. 😁

Toyota painted these black by the way.

Cheers
