Last Wednesday you replied [b:654c4848f0]"Would love to see some clear photos of how the top link point is made/set up"[/b:654c4848f0].

Take a look at the photos below of the top link point on "Rusty" our 51MT.

It is "rough" looking, but should work.

The photos below are of the top link point that came with "Sparky" Nancy's 51MT.

Since "Sparky" has a pulley, this top point link will be installed on "Sam" our other 51MT.

Hope this helps.
 
Hi James,
Thanks so much for the photos. Do the bolts attaching the top-link plate feed right into pre-drilled tapped holes in the casting or do the holes look "added afterwards"? This of course is on the back of an MT. The back-end looks significantly different from an M, which I have, and I must use my memory since it is an hour and a hallf away. However, you do mention and I have seen pictures of your M, so does it look like this toplink plate would bolt up the the M?
 
This coming weekend I'll check the bolt pattern of green top link point with the bolt pattern of one of the extra M pulleys.

My guess is that they will match; I'll let you know either way next Monday.
