Second, I think watts look amazing. Here is my solution to a watts link, I have not seen this design yet.

You don't really need the adjustment holes out at the ends of the axle housing. Those points can be at any height (within reason), as long as the
relative height difference is the same as the center to center distance on the bellcrank. Adjustment out there only puts the Watts in a different point in it's natural travel.
We've built a number of those "reversed" Watts links. The only issue with them is the roll center height moves with suspension travel (fixed roll moment). If the bellcrank is fixed to the axle housing, then the roll center is fixed in relation to the ground (roll moment changes with travel).
