Switch-Rod Guide

Switch-Rod Guide
Don’t throw away sheared-off 1/4-20 nylon wing bolts! Drill a no. 52 hole lengthways through one and a 13/64-inch hole through the side of your plane’s fuselage. The bolt makes a neat escutcheon and bushing for the switch rod. Remember to glue a small “scab” of plywood inside the fuselage for the bolt to thread into. ILLUSTRATION BY JIM NEWMAN
