Mounted the throttle pushrod tonight...



Regarding the control arm on the carb, the brass body that inserts into the the carburetor control arm was tight when inserted and would not rotate very easily. I figured this might be an issue down the road if any dust or debris built up and might cause it to sieze, so I used a 1/16" bit to ream the hole out just a touch. The brass body rotates easily now but it's still a snug fit. If you are fitting this piece, do so without installing the retainer as it is not easily removable if you need to ream out the hole at all.



I used a needle heated with a lighter to poke the holes for the hatch screw. Also added the padding for the fuel tank. I installed a 12 oz tank (vs the stock 8 oz) so I had to use 1/2" foam rubber on one side and 1/4" foam rubber on the other and only a small piece on top(otherwise the hatch would not close).



Holes for the main gear...



Holes for the tailgear - you can see the hole I left when I had to move the gear back...
