    This isn't a great close-up photo, but it should give you an idea. You should be able to make a bracket that attaches to some of the side bolts on your differential housing. If you use the Panhard bar on front and rear, make sure they mount to the same side of the frame. You don't want the front to tango while the rear is waltzing . . .

    I disagree slightly with my esteemed colleagues about the Watts linkage. While they perfectly center the rear axle, I don't use them because I don't believe they're necessary due to the limited travel of street rod suspensions. Also, it makes the rear suspension a bit too "busy" for my taste. That's just me.

    One other point. If you use the Speedway Watts kit, I certainly wouldn't use four Heim ends. Urethane bushings are much more street friendly.

    By the way, Bob, that's a nice Watts you set up in that photo.
