My linkage is buried..! The next time it sees the light of day, will be a day of mourning.
My torque rods are longer and they meet together inside a single clevis, so the range of motion is restricted.
The torque rods are ground flat so that they can fit inside the same clevis. I used 1/16" music wire for the torque rods IIRC. They need to be weak enough to "give" with the single clevis...but strong enough not to flutter. The ends of the MW are annealed enough to allow them to be hammered flatter and then cross drilled for the clevis pin. It's tricky to get it just right. I had a few failed attempts before the assy was ready to be permanently buried out of sight.
I would rather go with the set up you show for future VTails.
