Brilliant - a lovely bit of neat engineering !
That's neat, looks and sounds much more purposeful than the old plastic moulding.
The spring for self-centering seems a great idea too.
Mine has a different linkage (rods, not cable) and there isn't much throw from left to right between 1-2/3-4/5-6 planes, so that spring must help a lot.
Fascinating to watch - great ingenuity!!
Glad you enjoyed the vid,
Yea i think that additional spring will make a big difference, it was actually pretty finicky to setup, the little stopper block, that limits the spring rotation, has to be just the right width to get the spring start doing something straight away.
So have been having a closer look at the Suspension Geometry and decided to make a few Changes to try and Settle this thing down a bit!

Yet another very interesting video thanks Colin. It will be really interesting to see what difference your mods have made. Has this changed the ride height at either end? I know I should be able to work it out but sadly dont have a beer to hand.
Thanks mate, na both those changes won't directly effect ride height.
Fascinating video Colin - it'll be interesting to see what effect these changes have - and if your theories prove correct !
Good video, Porsche 911's similar weight distribution typically have rear RC 12-15" above ground.
Interesting video.
For the rear wishbones, do you have alternative inner mounts?
One thing to watch when setting up the rear suspension is to ensure you still have enough clearance for plunge on the driveshaft/CV joints. Playing with camber of wishbone angle can affect that. Though given your other attention to detail, I doubt you would have issues with that.
The short wheelbase certainly contributes to fore-and-aft weight transfer, and the strut-type rear means camber change happens in roll, so nothing is ever ideal. The high C-of-G with the V6 doesn't help either, can certainly feel that weight sitting just behind your shoulders
