Cross pinning stab pushrods



Pushrod ends drilled


Pin from small pop rivit used to cross pin the pushrod cap to the CF tube. I found that each end was filled with solid epoxy as planned so I think they should not split on the inside.


Aluminum pins cut off


Cut off end hammered and peened flat to hold the pin in


After peening thin CA glue was applied to both ends


After the thin CA a drop of medium CA was applied to each end to make a smooth rounded bump and lock the pins in.
