3. Sand the 6mm x 13mm end of the four
hardwood blocks using medium grit sandpaper to
provide a surface for the glue to adhere to. This
will be the end glued to the plate in the following
step.
4. Use 5-minute epoxy to glue the blocks to the
cover in alignment with the marks you made. Allow
the epoxy to fully cure before proceeding.
5. Position the servo on the blocks. Use a
pencil to mark the block for the servo lead. Use a
razor saw to trim the block to provide clearance for
the servo lead.
6. Position the servo between the two blocks.
With the servo resting against the servo cover, use
a pencil to mark the locations for the four servo
mounting screws on the blocks.
7. Use a drill and 5/64-inch (2mm) drill bit to
drill the holes for the mounting screws. Use care not
to enlarge the holes any larger than the drill bit.
8. Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver to thread
a servo mounting screw into each of the holes.
Remove the screw then apply 2–3 drops of thin
CA in each hole and saturate the front and rear of
the block to harden the hardwood block. This will
help keep the blocks from splitting when the servo
mounting screws are installed.
