The plans call for 1/8" plastic plate with 1 3/4" hole at the carry through spar bulkhead. This is a very rough area with bulkhead overlap and rivets, thus making a poor surface to secure a flat plate. Is this plate to restrict potential 'buckling' of the pushrod tube, or to protect against 'abrasion' from the bulkhead/carrythrough spar ? Wouldn't it be more elegant to put plastic tube on the pushrod to protect it?
