Brief Description:  Tail - Drilled Hole in Elevator Horns to HS

I got a piece of 1/4 brake line from Napa and a smaller steel tube from Vans which fit snuggly in the brake line, but had a 1/8 inside diameter. So I drilled the hole in the horn using a #30 istead of a #40 drill. I couldn't fine any steel tube with a 3/32 inside diameter. I used the step drill to enlarge it to 1/4 inch and then deburred it. It all worked fine. The bolt goes right through and everything moves freely. I used BoeLube on the drill bit inside the steel sleeve.
