| ![](yoke images/DSCN4294_thumbnail.JPG) Insert into elbow and drill a hole in the bottom side for a bolt.
|
![](yoke images/DSCN4296_thumbnail.JPG) Bolt should protrude just far enough to get a nut on over the flat bar.
| ![](yoke images/DSCN4297_thumbnail.JPG) Push bolt head in between elbow and bushing so it can't turn.
|
![](yoke images/DSCN4299_thumbnail.JPG) Drill a center hole in flat bar and secure with a nut.
