clear tape (not included).
Secure one piece of wire to one end of the carbon fiber rod, using one
piece of heat-shrink material. The piece of wire should overlap the
carbon fiber rod at least 1" (25mm). Heat the heat-shrink material with
a heat gun to shrink it into place. PRO TIP For extra security, apply a
few drops of foam-friendly thin C/A to the end of the pushrod and allow
it to "wick" into the joint.
