I finished up the small push rods tonight. Same process as described previously. Having a sharp 1/16th inch drill bit makes a big difference in getting the holes drilled correctly. However, even with the drill press they were not all completely straight through the tube. They were not the prettiest set rivets, but I think they are acceptable.
I wrapped up by adding the end bearings and adjusting the overall push rod length per the drawing (27 5/8th inches).
