Finished elevator pushrods

Tonight I finished assembling the elevator pushrods. This was a case of lightly sanding down the primer and installing the caps in the end of the tubes and riveting them together. This ended up being time consuming, but not very difficult. Once these get primed on the outside, they will be finished and ready to had the rod end bearings installed.

Messy desk, but everything I need to pop rivet these pushrods
