600 Align fbl head question

[Vanquish]

Does anyone know what length the linkage rods should be on the align fbl head for the 600?

Bought these - Fast Lad Performance which are 65mm but they seem too long for the 600. Anyone know if there is an instruction manual for the align fbl heads online somewhere?

Cheers

They are definitely the right links, mine are 91mm (ish) 57mm exposed link between balls.

Strange, i've got the ball links screwed on as far as they go and i'm still getting 65mm between the links i must be missing something.

What length are the links themselves, I've got a spare set here and they are 71mm long. I've just checked the part number and it's the same as mine so you must have the wrong links in there from the factory

Mine are 56.9

600 fbl

the rods should be 71mm and between links should be 56.5mm from the instructions i have here

Maybe you have different plastic links? Do you all have the same distance between the centre of the balls?

[Vanquish]

They seem to be 81mm? the plastic links look the same as the ones in the pic on fastlad's

[paulg]

ball link to ball link should be 89.5mm

Quick one Vanquish.. You dont happen to have brought the shorter FBL main shaft have you?..

[waveydavey]

The links are 10mm longer than the stock ones Eddie.

Not that bad a question then! I can answer the question and solve the problem for you then... Buy the 550E FBL or 700E FBL links (as the standard 600/700FBL links are too long anyways, even at 71mm) and you will be sorted!

These links http://www.fast-lad.co.uk/store/h700...)-p-10802.html and set them at 47mm and you should be good to go!

Job Done!
