<\/a>Here are some follow-up pictures from the last post about how the larger diameter (>1″) aluminum tubes are measured and drilled.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Next comes the measure and alignment of the holes.\u00a0 For these rods, two through holes perpendicular to one another and offset back 1\/2 and 3\/4 from the edge are required.\u00a0 Unfortunately, the drilling on one rod end was not correct the first time. This resulted in a hole not aligned properly through the center of the rod.\u00a0 It was bad enough I will have to make these over again.\u00a0 Stay tuned for an update.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The plans call for numerous parts requiring custom lengths or special fabrication.\u00a0 I decided to process all the remaining control and push rods together.\u00a0 This should reduce the alodine batches required, plus get some minor shop efficiency by not changing tools for every single piece.
