Assembly is carried out by the rod supplier. Apart from the actual rod forestay, only the joining sleeve 

pack is required.
1. Measure the length of the rod forestay. (The WL measurement and corrections for the length of the top 

terminal and the cold-headed head at the lower end have been calculated in 

"Calculation Table 1"

.)

2. Cut the stay.
3. Form the head for the upper terminal and fit it. The eye part must only be fitted temporarily.  

Fasten any locking screws and attach the instructions for permanent assembly of the eye part.
