The M6 thread has 1.0 mm pitch, M8 however is 1.25 mm. So: when you rotate the linking bolt, you get a 0.25 mm length change per revolution. That means you get a few millimeters by which you can adjust the linkage in situ. I'm certain you'll figure it out!
A second linkage with rose joints could be connected in the same place but at 90 degrees over to the engine, that would make it move in a bit of a arc but also make it super rigid from side to side
@@remijio303 It might also serve as a gate. Took a few minutes to figure out what you meant, and I still think a fixed length might cause problems..... but I have some spare joints so I can have a play with it.
Looking good.
fabulous project!
Nice job
It's really coming together now.

Just a reminder about stainless steel fasteners. Use Anti seize on the threads as ss has a galling problem.
