For something so simple, i spent hours today and can't figure it out.

i have noticed my mental abilities are deteriorating and this is a test 
of how bad.

Oddly, my initial offset which was placed based on the size of a scrap 
piece of steel and where it had existing holes seems to be amazingly 
close.  the connection simply does not work in many other places, one 
end of the stroke or the other is off.

Now i am thinking of making the stroke adjustable on the rocker arm so 
on a down hill movement it moves 21" and uphill it moves 27"   With 24" 
being the flat track middle stroke.

Have never seen any original ones with adjustable pivot point, so don't 
know how useful it will be.  But to do that with the same length arm,   
has the offset about 2.5 down at 8.5" from center, and 4.5" down at 12" 
from center.  I will built a test tomorrow to see if it works.

When are you planning on driving up this way to bring glass?
