Adjusting trigger linkage?
Before I ruin my Vulcan to Kingdom Come, I would like to check with you guys:
I can’t slide the plate of the safety under the pivot where it is supposed to go, so the safety doesn’t engage.
I believe I need to change the length of the trigger linkage to raise that pivot thingie, which when allows the safety plate to go underneath.
A while ago I read that both ends of the linkage rod is right-hand thread, but that means turning the linkage does not make it longer or shorter.
How do I change that trigger linkage length then? Remove the attachment of one of the clevises, so I can turn it separately?

From my sometimes faulty memories, my safety does not engage either unless the hammer spring is cocked and ready. Having said that, if you play with the stage travel adjustments I remember a point where no safety could be engaged at no time. I don’t have the manual or rifle in front of me but there are set screws at the end of the trigger linkage that control stage travel.

Only one end of the trigger link has a threaded clevis. Turning either end will shorten the link. Either end can be disconnected for adjusting but removing the triggergard may be the easier end to work on. I did it each way as I had to shorten a full 1 1/2 turns for proper safety setting. Your mileage may vary.
Then your trigger adjusting screws at the back end may need additional adjustment. I didn’t like the range of adjustment those two different length screws gave me so I switched them and am very happy with mine.
WARNING – Before loading thouroughly test that the gun will not accidentally discharge when bumped especially on the butt end. Slap it, bump it, test it, and don’t trust it unless you have exhausted all possibilities of malfunction ❗ ❗ Dont’t be dead stupid ❗
You will love the safety when proper adjustment is set.
I hope the factory has caught on to this oversight and new purchasers won’t have to adjust it.
The clevis’ are very strong spring steel so be patient and persistent.
