Drawing the holes that we're going to drill on the W-818 pushrod.
Pushrod ends after they've been drilled.
The Van's instructions say to prime the inside - we didn't think about the paint coming back out of the holes, so this made a bit of a mess.
Something that is interesting to note - if you get the Sherwin-Willliams self-etching primer on the powdercoat pieces, it looks bad. I don't think it does anything bad, but it just looks sort of . . . weird. Obviously you don't need to prime the powder-coated parts, but if you're trying to get the inside or the ends where you've cut the powdercoated parts off, you could get some odd-looking results.
Less messy this time - we taped the holes before priming the inside.
. . . and there they are with the ends pop riveted on. Still need to put the jam nuts on, though.
