advice on a link position

[calumco]

im taking a little box on wheels robot to barnsley next weekend, as my weaponed robots are all playing up. so if they end up not working on the day, ill at least have something to use.

problem is i made it a while ago and put the link near the wheel and at the time thought nothing of it until now, pics below

it that a bit dodgy or not? or if i bolted a little sheet of ali or something to the link its self so theres something unbetween your fingers and the wheel how about that?

thanks
