More details.
The tail wires are 3/32" SS TIG wire threaded for 2-56 threads, a short piece of 1/8 tube, and 2 2-56 nuts. A plain nut is inside the clevis and scale brass nut on the end of the tube in an attempt to simulate the first photo. I might order some hex stock to make bigger hex nuts, the plain 2-56 hex just doesn't look right, too thin.

Steven,
Finally put the tap guide to work. Works great! Thank you again.
Purchased 12L14 3/16" carbon steel hex bar from McMaster Carr. The 12L14 material drills, turns, mills and taps like butter. Took a few hours but I like the results. There are about 10 operations in each piece and I had to do them one at a time, thank God for the DRO's.
Next up will mount the engine and make the throttle and choke linkages. Also working on a plug for the air cleaner dome, I'm embarrassed to say how long I've been working on it! There are a few different versions of the the air inlet on Super Cubs, the cowl provided with the kit is a the round version as shown below.

Got the throttle and choke linkage complete, both are pull on, spring off. Repurposed the cooling duct from the Cherokee for this install. I sent a message off to Falcon Props asking about their 3" spinner and 25" CF prop, no rely yet. Swinging a 26 x10 on the Champ, I plan to use a 25X9 here.
