The day begins with the last small pushrod assembly, no problems.



Then I primed the big pushrod.



After the priming I suddenly think I might have a problem with the big pushrod length, and checking it I find that I did cut them too long (the length with the rod-ends inserted). This is not too much of a problem, just cut the tubing to length. But reinstalling the ends might prove problematic. I'll first let the paint cure completly then I'll see what can be done.



This afternoon, the paint was dry, so I cut the rods to the correct lentgh and maanged to re-rivet the threaded ends. I transfered the hole pattern from the old tubing end to the new one by using adhesive tape.
