Used a scrap piece of plywood with an appropriately sized hole to hold the tube and bellcrank square and at teh correct relative position while soldering. For soldering, I just put a loop of solder around the junction and heated the whole shebang up. The wood block caught on fire once or twice, but otherwise served its job well. |

Fabricated some pushrods from some 3/16 steel rod. For the real ones, I'll use better steel than this hardware store mild steel. Threaded them with a die 10-32 UNF. |

Realized I made the rods an inch too long. They need to be 4" long, not 5". Easily rectified. |

It works! Here is a short video showing the action. Now to get the real parts machined by a machine shop. |
