This board does not seem to like the capitalized IMG tags that Photobucket uses. I just changed your tags to lower case so we'll see if it works.

just for a future tip, here's a trick i learned. If you have a bunch of pics with the IMG thing, just make the first one "image" rather than "IMG" then they all work for whatever reason.

the linkage looks good, nice work. nothin like cheap and functional!

Why not use some hemispherical rod end bearings instead of the eye bolts?
I think they would provide smoother operation.

I agree. It would look much cleaner.
