Default RE: TRF801X Build Thread

Thanks. I have no excuse to slack on the posting now that first snow just arrived. [&o]

Onward to the throttle/steering linkage. The throttle linkage is assembled first. It is bend at 90 degrees for the angled mount. If you have Z bend (Airplane guy tool.) You can make your own out of threaded rods. The nice 1:1 diagrams comes into play here.

For the brake linkage you have to cut the tube down to 30mm. Attach both rods on the throttle arm. The stock screw is only 2mm so you might not have to drill the arm. Leave the brake rod in stock position. However you might have to move the throttle rod and/or change the ball link on your carb to achieve a perfect straight line.
