Drilled the bolt into the WS-658 and WS-756
This was a head scratcher. How do you drill a hole into a 2 pieces of tubular steel, keep the pieces from not turning, make a straight (perpendicular) hole into 2 pieces of pipe that lay crooked in the jig and get the hole started in the first place? Phew! That was a mouth full. Here's my solution. I wrapped duct (aeronautical) tape around the two pieces of pipe to make sure they stay lined up. Then I put more duct tape on the smaller piece of pipe untill it matched the diameter of the larger piece of pipe. This makes the whole thing lie correctly on the jig. I took and old wooden pipe jig and cut off just enough of it so it would fit inside the control gizmo on the pipes. Then I used my hole punch to established a mark through the tape onto the pipe to prevent the drill bit from wandering.
