---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Thanks Joe, I thought that was what it was, but I couldn't figure out how you made it work. What is "drill rod" ?

Warren, They're fallboard buttons; the kind where you insert a screw to attach them and then cover it with a low profile rubberr button. In order to get the washer inside the button, ya have to drill/ream it a bit for a #6 washer. The tool is made out of Drill Rod. The part of the rod, that goes up through the Button is, 1st, threaded w/6-32 threads. The underside is peened a bit to get the washer to stay in place. (I found it easier to just silver solder the lower washer to the stem.) The nut is a 6-32. Once the nut is in place, where the button pivots smoothly, I took a center punch and put 4 peens around the top of the stem. Then I jammed the nut up against that, so it won't move and tighten when you're using the tool. Hope that helps. (Probably more than you wanted to know!<G>) Regards, Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
