So, been a bit as this has lost its fun... took a break to get home projects done and regroup.
I spend a bunch of time trying to get the linkages to be equal on both sides and can’t believe how bad the factory parts fit; I had to bend the crossbar slightly and enlarge the begeezus out of the holes to get the balls to be equally spaced on each side, but I think I’m there. Here’s how much I had to enlarge and slot the passenger side and I also had to make the holes one size bigger on the driver bracket.
Raining right now so I can’t see where my 3,000rpm sits yet.
