To make this detachable pushrod end you will need to prepare
an L-shaped piece of soft steel wire (paper clip wire works
very well for this), and a small piece of heat shrink tubing.
From the tools/supplies you will need to use CA glue, X-acto
knife, wire cutters, and soldering iron for shrinking the tubing.

Insert the wire piece into the control horn. Slide the piece of
heat shrink tubing over the carbon rod. Do not cut the carbon
rod at this point, let it go beyond the control horn.
|
Apply a drop of CA glue to the wire and carbon rod at the
end of the wire bracket. Slide the heat shrink tubing over the
joint so that it is positioned right at the end of the
wire bracket. Use a hot soldering iron and shrink the tubing
while the CA glue is still fresh. Beware of the CA fumes when
applying the heat.

Cut the excess length of the carbon rod about 4-5mm past the control
horn. You should have a very clean and functional pushrod end. The
length of the wire bracket must be sufficient to provide enough
flex of the "keeper" for disassembling the connector (about 25mm works well
for the 0.030" diameter carbon rod used on Taboo XL).
