I have assembled the drag link as per this layout. There is too much slack in the arms when it is all assembled

 as you can see from the other photos.



In the service manual there is an extra part number 12


What am I doing wrong?

Nick, you should have 8 ball seats, 3 springs and 3 safety plugs, 2 threaded end caps and 2 spacers.
The LH side from inside out should be inner plug, ball seat, ball seat,spacer, safety plug Spring, ball seat, ball seat and end plug and cotter plan.
RH side inner plug, ball seat, ball seat,spacer,safety plug,Spring,ball seat,ball seat,Spring,safety plug, end plug and cotter pin. If you like I can see if I can copy the picture and post it for you.

I'm pulling apart an old drag link to make sure what you have is correct. Will send some photo's when I'm done, the spacer cover is a thin cup that fits over the spring and safety plug.
