If not, attach the end fitting to the tube with two 1/8-inch diameter, 3/4-inch long soft steel, flat or round head rivets 90 degrees apart; or replace with a new connector tube assembly. Full forward position of the control stick will expose the rearward fitting and full rearward position of the stick will expose the forward fitting.
