Hey everyone. I was just cruising through some pages about my favorite
Rover 215 engine, and ran across this picture of a WATTS linkage Panhard rod
setup that looked like something I had drawn up a year or so ago, and sent to
One of the Laifmans....(I can not get them straight).. Anyway, I know the
Alpine's can use one, and the Tiger's always seem to either tear loose from
the frame, or do enough damage after 30+ years that repairs need to be done.
The drawing I did was a cantilever system for centrally locating the rear end,
without out it being pushed or pulled out of the centerline because of the arc
of the travel of the Rod . this system keeps it right where it is. This pic
is from the underside of the car while in a rotisserie. The Car is a Triumph
TR7 / TR8 it wasn't clear which it was. They also were adding Porsche Brakes
and other stuff, but the WATTS linkage was well done. Here's the picture...

I'm sure some of you more metallic types out there could do this for your
Tiger. Probably could build a Kit for everyone to use... the mind Boggles..
