Putting some together right now, probably 3 weeks out. The complete kit ready to install on the round Jag hubs with an install fixture is $600. I could probably do them for about $400 without the top mount brackets and work with you on coming up with some for different or custom installs.

Mickmate, I'm considering the Watts setup for my Butler Cobra. As my frame is totally different I would only need the top mount brackets for the Jag Hubs along with the pivoting bellcrank. Are you making these components from Aluminum, or are these steel as shown in your photos. Would you quote me a price please.
I would have to fab my own brackets for the frame attachment points and make the tierods with possibly a different length. I have a surplus of 1/2" heim joints so I won't need them either.
Thanks, Arthur |

Nick,
What if you were to manufacture a lower control arm for the Jag IRS. However also make a new bearing carrier with the mounting hole angled upward toward the front. This would make the bearing carrier pivot in and out through travel giving you toe/steer? I would also think the angled hole would have to be equal distance from the original position. The right angle would need to be found!

I've been playing with the tubular heim adjustable lower Jag arms on my spare time. I think you'll find the toe change comes from the caster angle on the rear uprights. If I want that I'd make them like the 60's cars, oh that's right I'm doing that ;-)

I'm looking to go with Klaus Arning's T5 design. Inboard brakes as Jag has nixes that. Are you referring to the 427SC design?

You've got your design, all you need is a few measurements and you can get to it.
Later Jags had outboard brakes like the picture in post 111 above.
Yes I'm building per original 427.

Just wonder if anyone has any numbers with regard to toe/steer. Does anyone know to what degree of steer works on a 90" wheelbase Cobra? I would think the real numbers would be something like .150 degree per inch of travel. So two inches of travel would equal .300 degree.

I have a watts linkage from Contemporary that I bought during the Burtis era. I paid about $450 for it. I will sell it for $350 and include shipping. I do not have the frame attachment points or the hub attachment brackets. I believe frame attachment points were added to all frames after the watts linkage was made available by the factory. They also offered machined aluminum hub carriers for attaching it to. Mickmate can set you up with hub attachment brackets. I don't know if anyone still makes the machined hub carriers.

George Petrus used to make hub carriers with watts linkage. You can contact him through his web page Cobraracing Racing Suspensions.
Dont know if he still makes them on order.
