Default BRW...

I am, of course, an idiot. But my pull-pull works quite well.

You should have some 2-56 "rigging couplers" and some 2-56 steel clevises with 2-56 lock nuts. The rigging couplers are 2-56 thread rod about 1" long with small holes in one end. Connect the clevis to the control surface, and screw the rigging coupler into the clevis (with the nut on the threaded section of the rigging coupler).

Leave enough thread so you can tighten them later..don't bottom the threads out in the clevis, leave some for adjustment.

To connect the cable to the rigging coupler, thread it thru the crimp sleeve, thru the rigging coupler, and back thru the crimp sleeve. I did mine twice, lots of folks do it once with fine results.

When it is set, you will crimp the sleeve. I held mine with masking tape until ready to crimp.

This should get you thru the control surface end.

Figure 46 on page 27 shows a close up of the completed control horn end. Yous should look something like that.
