Dose anyone have a line on linkage for a Man A Fre 4X2 set up. I am not looking for Eelco it is crap. Any help greatly appreciated thanks Jim
Try vintage speed in FL he built a really nice 6x2 linkage for me and didnt rip me off like that dirt bag Leckner at eelco
I made the set up on mine from scratch, copied as close as i could to the original stuff, i ordered rod ends left & right hand threads, stainless rod, left hand jam nuts and a lh tap and die. then i went to it. had to have a buddy machine a couple small parts but over all it worked out nicely. and only cost me about $50 I also modified the peices that went on the throttle shaft. trimmed off all the fat. jeff
Also understand that he center cross shaft has to be on the same plane or centerline of the carb throttle shafts and that the link from the cross shaft up the the links that attatch to the throttle arms also have to be the same center to center, thus there is no binding what so ever. you center cross shaft is basically mimicking another pair of carbs.....if that makes sense.
just a quick line drawing so my above comment makes sense. my set up isnt fully adjusted yet so they are close eyeball wise for now. jeff
Only thing I am having a problem with is the two peaces that go over the center shaft and the two pivot himes screw into and lock on the shafts. Dose any one know if there is a peace all ready made like that or will they have to be made from scratch. Pretty much have every thing else. thanks jim
You may be able to find them in a 2 4 linkage set up. Or take a machinest a 24 pack and see what happens.
Bet that cost more than a 24 pack. Looks great!!! WHat do you have for shaft flex? It does look like larger dia.
