had you thought about mounting the upper arms diagonally (similar to a mk3/4/5 cortina)? no need for a panhard bar then either.

That's what I thought and the side shot confirms that. Wouldn't it be better with a shorter shock/ longer triangulated arm so the load is already placed on it ? If you remove the rear bar the whole lot with rotate around the tyre footprint as the shock isn't seeing any load ( as shown set up in the picture).

Mark, how low is the body / chassis combo then.? Should be plenty of room , what's in the way ?

I'm not sure I understand the question
If you look at the side picture you can see a lower link in the centre attached near the diff. This is the lower bar of a pair that prevent axle rotation (like half a four bar). The outer axle mounts allow the axle rotation in the mount which takes care of the forward/rearward bars tendency to twist the axle. The outer links only control longitudinal motion..
I have seen this before on American sprint cars but as for the reasoning behind it-

Paul, I did spot that other bar afterwards and edited my post...well I THOUGHT I did I walked away happy as that solved it wanting to rotate around the tyre footprint. After awhile though I though what about those rear facing links though, surely they will bind against that lower diff locating bar ?

No, the housing on the diff is free to rotate. The centre bars do the anti-rotation and determine the instant centre.
