There are 2 ways of doing a Watt's link behind the axle. Either center pivot on the chassis, outer ends on the axle, or center pivot on the axle, outer ends on the chassis. These cars came with the latter, while I've been working toward the former. Now that I've made a bunch of brackets and done many mockups, I've learned a few things.

Assuming keeping the stock fuel tank, If you're going to do a panhard, the chassis end will need to be on the right, putting the axle end to the left, much like an '82-'02 Camaro. If you insist on Watt's link, as I do, then the center pivot must be mounted to the axle. It just can't be packaged any other way with the stock tank.

Pics to follow very soon.
