Test Fitting the Parts

The next step I suggest is to test fit most all of your parts on my tube now. I am using machined metal parts conversion kit that I machined myself. I went ahead and added the hex bolts now and to keep them in place I used washers and nuts on the inside of the tube. I just screwed the bolt into the nuts and tightened them up.

 

This is a test fit I did of the mid-band setup and the control box with a push-on push-off switch installed in the back button spot on the control box. This shows how all the parts fit together and the order they are put together.
