I can't say I have. But a watts linkage is far far better than a panhard rod.

Remember the 260c's run a leaf spring rear end Bart

here you go - you could get the whole setup off a ford falcon etc as they used them - as bart has told me in the past, the panhard rod works in an arc thus moving the axle to one side under load, whereas the watts link keeps the axle dead in the middle.

Hmm thats different. I was thinking going from the diff to the chassis.

Thats exactly how it works / mounts - just in a different way. (just updated previous post)

Panhard rods were more used back in the days of cross ply tyres which were stiffer in the sidewalls.
They aren't really the go for radial tyres.
