Custom Panhard to Frame Mount (with heim)?

Has anyone fabbed or purchased a panhard to frame mount that allows a dropped or adjustable end link height wrt the frame? I have a CPP deluxe bar and I'm thinking of swapping the adjustable end link out with a heim and installing a custom bracket to get the bar more level at ride height.

I've currently got some 2" square tube that I'd planned to use to fab a mount but now I'm thinking there might be something more elegant/strong available on the aftermarket.

That looks pretty cool, how thick is the steel you used there?

pbfab and nolimit don't have just the brackets listed, and pbfab doesn't even have pics of most of their products so it's impossible to tell what I'd be getting anyway.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

I was initially thinking that I could mount some tube where the original mounts and then weld to that a section that drops down, kind of like an upside-down "L". If I do that then I could use the provided poly bushing because the tube would be at the right angle. The tube I got is 1/8" wall so now I'm worried that it wouldn't be beefy enough... and I have no idea how to calculate the required bracket strength
