Rudder cable guides

I cut the rudder cable guides and pushed them onto a metal rod just big enough for them to slide onto... then I put the whole rod into the oven and let it pre-heat to 250F, and turned it off as soon as it reached temperature. I then left them in there overnight to cool. When I pulled them out in the morning they slid right off the rod almost perfectly straight.

I ran a reamer through all the bushings on the fuselage, scuffed all the guides with 150 grit sand paper, then slid them all into place and secured with hysol.
