Nc35 jack up linkage question

[steve92]

I'm was thinking of modifying my nc30 linkage so it gives the same amount of rise the nc35 one gives.

So i'm right in thinking the holes need to be further apart.?

Does anyone know the distance between the hole centres on the nc35 linkage.?

7mm closer gives an extra 2.5" if i recall correctly. could be wrong like, but its closer not further.

You will need to mark the new hole, then weld up the old one before drilling the new hole as they overlap.

Ok 7mm closer. Hopefully someone will confirm its 7mm before i start it.

Yea i remember there was one forsale a while ago and you could see how they over lapped.

Aye, shorten dog bone length to raise the rear, longer bones for short arses

i got it slightly wrong see here

I see the nc35 one raises the back by 18mm and Ricks by 36mm.

Wonder should i make mine like Ricks.?

Is the nc35 linkage a worth while upgrade with the 18in back wheel.? i guess this is why rick does the 36mm one to give the same effect with the 17in wheel.

It depends what you want, a slight raise (by fitting the rvf link with 18" wheel) or the full monty 36mm lift. The full lift gives quicker steering. I've done it to all nc30's I've owned - not a fan of the standard arse-dragging slow steering.

Not really, Rick's 36mm lift is designed for nc30's with the 18" wheel. On rvf's you can add a shim to the top of the rear shock for the same effect (Rick sells these also).
