After removing the makeshift assembly that was there he made sure that line marking the motion plane was still intact. If not, the motion plane will need to be marked. The servo mount was disassembled and the screws holding the servo in place were reversed. The linkage rod was re-positioned to exit from the back of the mount.

Doing it this way eliminates the need to drill a recess for the servo bracket mounting screws. After mounting, test the operation and then cut the excess linkage rod off, flush with the top of the pivot point tie.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.26.1″][et_pb_column _builder_version=”3.26.1″ type=”4_4″][et_pb_button button_text=”Discussion” _builder_version=”3.26.1″ button_url=”https://smarthobbyllc.com/user-provided-n-scale-retrofit/” button_alignment=”center”][/et_pb_button][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]
