unless you have the exact measurement of the pivot to cylinder distance, or you have a cad to work it out, it is almost impossible to get it right by trial and error. Moving the pivot of the cylinder by an inch and affect your curl by 10-15 degrees depending on the leverage you are using.
Unless you have done this before, maybe you should order a plan by sending in a cheque. Any changes you have to make will inevitably costs you a lot more than that. The price of hydraulic fittings are not cheap and you have to be pretty exact when you are plumbing it. I do not know how much it costs for the plans, but I am sure it's worth it.
I design my SKID STEER ( see junkyard skid steer ) with a cad, and even then, have to make a couple of changes that costs me a lot of time. Fortunately, I have all the stuff lying around and does not costs me a great deal of money.
