Chris I welded the tabs to the tube and the horn. They kindof reinforce each otherthat way but if you look closely at the plans , they dont show welds in thatarea?? That pulley bracket's load is doubled because the cable makes almosta 180 degree turn around it so I thought the extra weld area would help. I putthe control stick bushings in first and then had tonotch out the aeirleron horn to get it to slide over them so if you haven't weldedthe bushings in yet do the horn first. Ed Grentzer
