I thought A8 links were a lot longer, I didn't realise you would need to cut down the steel ball links. The Czech ebay picture seems to show them not cut down. Is it the 40valve engine?
http://i1217.photobucket.com/albums/...1299429626.jpg Another option may be one of these male threaded ones and one of the female threaded ones, then hopefully no threading needed just cut the threaded one down to size? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Kart-1-x-8...item4adb384c76 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Track-Rod-...item4d256c42a8 There are even aluminium alloy ones which would be easier to tap if deeper threading was needed. I may actually go for some of these for my current car. The previous buyer got my fixed up S8. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/L800-M8-8m...item3cc0090445 Last edited by Goran; 28th October 2014 at 09:49 PM.

There are 1" and 2" links, depending on the engine.
IIRC the S8 engines use 1", the rest 2" as the manifold is different.

That's what I thought. 1" only on S8's so I don't understand why Borys is trying to fit short ones if 2" ones are needed. Lets better check this before he puts too short arms.
Borys, what's the engine on your car?? (W12??)

I recently stripped a 3.7 to fix it and 2 4.2 and they were all 1"
Ma8 maybe some one fitted incorrect ones to your car before you bought it ? Or the 3.7 i worked on was incorrect ...4.2 is definitely 1" 100% 3.7 now im not so sure The S8 V10 is electronic the V8s are vac pods Last edited by daviesbike; 31st October 2014 at 08:45 AM.

And if they would reach the vac pod then both flaps would stay half open at all times
