> Hi Jon,
> The last time that it was attempted to bring the Tiger Wiki page in line with what is commonly accepted as fact by marque experts, the ?editors? who did the earlier work to the page came out, reverted the edits, and let it be known in no uncertain terms that they would not tolerate outsiders besmirching the holy writ of the ?reliable sources? they had established through what they considered to be rigorous process.
>
> The basic problem is that Robson is ?reliable source? simply because he has published a lot of books. Independent research (such as me looking at my Tiger and finding things that do not agree with their writing) is not permitted in Wikipedia because it?s not ?verifiable? by searching other in-print or otherwise published references. Books such as Norm Miller?s, being independently published and having a small total print run, carry little or no weight in Wikipedia-land, regardless of the quality of the underlying research.
>
> If the earlier editors have abandoned wikipedia and it?s now possible to make edits, then that would be fantastic ? but it would still have to be very carefully done so that all parts of the Wiki page have an attribution back to a book that, from the Wiki point of view, passes the ?reliable source? test.

> I wouldn't think the panhard has any impact on straight line acceleration as it's function is to locate the axle side to side. In cornering, it should prevent lateral shock or flexing, as well as linkage binding you might experience if the leaf springs are providing lateral location. The torque will help acceleration by keeping axle wind up under control under power.
> My torque arm is a custom setup for the Tiger by Griggs Racing, but I'd probably go with Dan's kit if I were to do another Tiger. The Griggs suspension also has coil overs in place of the leafs, and a Watts link to replace the panhard rod, so I've never thought about Panhard bar mods. Can the stock leaf spring mounts prevent lateral motion and support sufficient lateral loads in hard cornering? I think I'd rather have a panhard bar (or a Watts link) and let the springs only provide longitudinal location.
