Thanks! Very clever!
After looking at the two methods for aligning the hub carriers it struck me that the ideal setup might be a combination of the two.
The radius rods stabilize the lower part of the hub and restrain it from moving fore and aft by more or less restricting it to up/down movement; the Watts linkage does the same for the top of the carrier.
Combining the two linkages would take twisting loads off the lower wishbone with the Watts linkage, and reduce the fore and aft movement of the lower wishbone with the radius rods.
Interesting. Wonder why Jag didn't do this? Not enough HP or torque possibly. Certainly more of a problem with Cobras, especially with slicks.
Something else for my spare time...
