mocking things up this morning
The brackets that came with the link kit are set at 30 degrees.
I realize that I am using them in a different location than they were intended but they are still 30 degrees from center
What I do not like about them is the 2 shown in the pic below are only 3/16 thick. All the other brackets that came with the kit are 1/4. I may make my own or beef these 2 up
I was originally thinking of going with 45 degrees but anything over 30 degrees will be hard to do with the width of the frame. It can be done by changing the angels from \/ to /\ and then cutting the link bars shorter, but I am not crazy about that idea.
I need to drop the cross member down about another 1/2 inch
I will have to notch it in the center for the drive shaft. I will reinforce that area once I do that
The cross member is wider than I wanted but that is what I have and the local hardware store if out of anything else
