This first part is a block with a 1/8" hole drilled cross-wise for the rod to pass through. Then a slot was milled halfway in and halfwaydown in the block. Here I'm showing a brass rod after the machining pass. The process worked so well, I was brave enough to mill out the corner of a stainless steel bar. That is what I used on the tender. I used the brass beading on the back of the Cab.
