im looking to buy a new top link. i have found a seller on ebay selling them at a good price. i am unsure of the length required. the lenghts are given as length of tube.
is this long enough?

If the implement you intend to use has its mounting points in a straight line above eachother,you would need a top link with a length of 600 mm eye to eye.
If the length of the eBay tube is 330,you would have to screw it all the way out to even reach the implement.
I would go for a longer one.
I have a 450 mm long top link,600 mm overall,which works fine,but can not be shortened,so 450 mm might be too long.
I also have a 400 mm one,again tubelength,that fits perfectly,and can be lengthened safely,and shortened if necessary,to tilt the implement.
Hope this helps...

O and by the way,i found that on the cheaper ones the thread quality is such that you will find it very hard to tilt a heavy implement.
This is why i am using the (longish) 450 mm top link,it is pretty expensive,65 euros,but it is a joy to use.
