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.
