The arm was too much of an angle so with the modded link plates I've now got it much better, just painted them again do I'll get it bolted up tomorrow for a final check.

Engine leak down done only lost 1psi after 5 minutes but think that’s down to using a push on tyre gauge, not as posh as some with screw on gauges.

Think i paid £200 for the complete front and rear ends, might be be particularly trick but looks ok as a cheaper option for a budget project

Looks like I don’t need a offset sprocket checked with two different straight edges cause I didn’t believe it but lines up a treat
