Step 18
Repeat Steps 9 and 10 to install the remaining 29-inch
(736mm) pushrod wire.

Step 19
You will need to make two 45-degree bends in the elevator
pushrod so it can be secured to the first pushrod. Make
sure that the bend nearest the pushrod tube is far enough
forward that it will not hit the pushrod tube when operating
the elevator.

Step 20
Use a rotary tool and cut off wheel or side cutters to trim the
pushrod wire so it almost touches the pushrod keeper. Slide
the wheel collars forward. Slide the bent pushrod wire into
the wheel collars.

Step 21
Use two 3mm x 3mm setscrews and a 1.5mm hex wrench to
secure the collars that link the two pushrods together. Make
absolute sure to use threadlock on these screws so they
don't vibrate loose.
