You want to make sure the center link is square to the other side and level.. Mark and drill your holes.. The center link needs to be square..

Re: Where do i drill?

I'm new to this. What would be the best way to make sure it's square? To level would I use a tape measure? Thanks for the reply.

Use the tape also.. Measure the left side and see where the crosslink sits from the front of the frame and measure the idler the same distance..
