And on that note, lol. This thing had a fixed center plate - ordered the bits to set it up to move with the control rod. When I was measuring the current cav plate levers so I knew what to get, I found out there are 3 different lengths (measuring from the center line of the control rod to the center of the eye), from L to R there is one at 1.750, three at 1.50 and the last two are 1.250"
Is there a reason they would be different? To compensate for something the boat was doing? I've set up numerous vehicle suspensions, so maybe to counter engine torque? I got nothing, al the hardware looks the same, so assuming it was ran this way at some point?
The different length levers are to account for the torque of the prop when launching. The longer levers should be on the passenger side. My flat is all even across the back and the Runner bottom is staggered, longest being on the right rear and shortest being on the left rear. I can measure them all this week if you need specifics.
