Watts Linkage for Jaguar IRS

 A while back, I was asked to provide more info on the watts linkage I fabricated for my Jaguar hubs. Here's a link to a journal on my project that I'm posting to over on the British V8 website. About 53 photos into it, you'll find the Watts Linkage and the LCA modifications:

I'll be updating the journal periodically.

6 speed, I was hoping for a more detailed view of, is it the ballcrank. What did you use for center pivot a bushing or bearing?

By the way that LCA is a beast, nice.

Ralphy,
Your wish is my command.
For the bellcrank, I used the same bearing and pivot from the Jaguar LCA inner fulcrum. That's a Torrington B-146 needle bearing and a new bearing tube from Welsh Enterprises, part # C-17168-1. Two bearings in each bellcrank left me enough room for an o-ring on either side of them. The bellcrank was fabricated on a milling machine and precision bored to press fit the needle bearings.
