Back to the topic............
Agreed, the Watts link is the way to go for most modern cars that have a greater suspension travel, however an AC Cobra would only traverse through it's total moment about 25-30mm from full compression to total rebound, hence the pan hard rod is a good compromise for this set up. Trust me, those 16" wide wheels do not scrub and they only have 15mm clearance from the chassis, and 7mm from the body..
It's all in the geometry..
