Hi Dalek,
You can buy a kit from Peter Lloyd or Rally Design for £130/£140 this is for everything that you will need. You will need a turret kit for the rear but a Escort one should fit

Someone on here was saying rally design kit did not last long on there car. I think Race are the ones to get?

Whoa. Respect. you're nearly as crazy as I am!
The watts linkage is supposed to lower the roll centre and make it even turning both ways isn't it? My basic research though was that nobody uses it because the rear roll centre's not all that critical, and a panhard rod's much lighter and simpler.
I did run my mk1 with just the panhard rod, and it's difficult to beleive that a watts linkage could have improved it. On my Starlet I'm again using a simple 5 link with coil overs, and whilst it's early days I've not seen any reason to adjust it any way - it's pretty good so far! (Oh to be able to say the same about the gearbox / clutch / engine / starting....)

Oh. If you want a rosejointed panhard rod, I think I saw one laying in my garage when I started to sort out at the weekend. It's about 3 foot long with left / right handed 1/2" unf joints on it from memory. Not sure how rusty it is, but I think it's straight and well proven...
I'm in Essex - mail me if you're interested and I'll take a look and see what gives - it's surpluss to requirements so I would only have kept the joints and slung it out. rich.baker@btinternet.com

In an ideal world Yes, but then in an ideal world we would all have our cars allready. as long as the didtance isnt to great it will be fine, if the top arms are shorter dont set the diff nose down so much as it will go down in squat.

4degrees down, which engine? try to get the engine flat.
-
Re: 5 / 6 linking an Anglia (105E) Advice required !
4 degrees down if your rallying, for track set them up at zero.
Interestingly the rally prep book says 4 degrees negative, in a chance conversation with Gartrac I was told they only ran this setup on one rally and it DIDNT work, they laugh at the fact someone copied thier build sheet from that race and it was wrong.

The engine will either be 2ltr Pinto, 2ltr Zetec or a 1500Gt Pre-crossflow with either a type 9 or or 2000e 4-speed depending on engine

Is this for equal length 4-link bars or unequal length bars?

If the tops are shorter then the nose will drop as the suspension is compressed, so static set it flater

Pit Crew
Re: 5 / 6 linking an Anglia (105E) Advice required !
So if the top bars are shorter 2º is correct? for equal lenght bars 4º?
