After finally getting the elevator pushrod boot remade along with the aileron pushrod boots, I got back to work reinstalling the elevator pushrod. Here's the aft end once again in position.

...and the forward end.

Here's the final version of the elevator pushrod boot. Came out pretty well.

I also glued on some tie-wrap mounting bases using E-6000 adhesive to the aft side of the F-706 bulkhead. Some of them wanted to slide down, so I taped them in place while the adhesive cures.
