Default Watts Linkage Installation

I have installed a watts linkage setup in my car that was made up by Nick Acton (Mickmate) that I learned about in this link:


Contemporary Cobra Watts Linkage

My car is a homebuilt and he was able to look at some pictures and send me the stuff I needed to get the job done. Check out the pictures in this link:

and a video of it running through its travel with the coilovers disconnected:

Nick is great to work with and as honest as they come. Heck, he sent me the stuff, then sent a bill. Very trustworthy.

Anthony.

Nick is the man, if I still had my CCX it would have his 42 gallon tank and the Watts Linkage....

I wish I had the experience of before and after....but I had Nick install the watts before I ever drove the car. I can say after 2,500+ miles it is a great set up. When the petal is depressed, the back end squats slightly, the front end lifts quite a bit, and the car hooks up! I have run it through a lot of twisty roads, dips, etc. and it handles just as great on the curves as the straight a ways. I give Nick an A+ on this upgrade to my car. Mark

Thanks guys, Anthony is quite a car builder himself. That is the first customer installed Watts I have supplied and it looks like it worked well in his frame application. So that's Anthony's and the CCX's. What else with a Jag rear can we get these into, Butler boys? The fixture can be reversed for mount points also so the front mount can be high and the back one low as long as they're all level to the bottom of the carrier.
