Help, Universal Triangle 4 Link woes

[rcrown]

Hello all,
I am scratching my head trying to figure this out. Cars a 1962 Falcon, Diff is at ride height. Lower links are horizontal and tacked in place. Now for the problem, the upper links. The upper links do not have a lot of room under the car. I could angle the upper bars from were the tubes meet the housing outwards to the frame rails but were going on an angle down wards. I was trying to keep the bars as long as possible but may just have bite the bullet and shorten the links.
Anyways I attached a few photos in hope someone could make a suggestion or recommendation.
Thank you for looking and any help would be appreciated
Ron

From what I learned while doing mine, you want at least 60 degrees between links (or 30 degrees from centerline). You want your upper links angled downward roughly 8 degrees give or take a degree, and your upper links (from the side view, not actual length) should be 70% of your lower links. It looks to me that your upper links are angled down a little too much. The recommendation of 60 degrees is to limit the stress on the upper links since they are acting as the centering device as well, the larger the angle the less stress. I wasn't able to get 60 on mine, I was stuck at 55, so I made sure to brace the hell out of my mounts.

Shortening the uppers to where you need will be better than the setup you have right now. Mitch was on track with what you should do

Mounting the upper link brackets on the front of the housing will you give you more room under the floor. The Art Morrison catalog has a bunch of pics of their Tri 4 links this way.
