Hi! Phil
I would make a "spigot type anvil" of solid bar to fit the inner tube
and sit on the outer end of the tube you are driving in. Make the spigot
end as long as the tubes you are driving then try driving your offending
tube home.
If however you still fail then heat to "cherry red" the spigot end which
goes into the assembly, allow it to transfer some heat and try again.

Subject: Europa-List: Mod 72 Debacle
Suppose that you were doing Mod 72 and it was going to be really easy as
you you are still building and haven't got the engine attached.
So, suppose that you have borrowed the club reamer and opened up the
tubes in the undercarriage frame and cleaned them out. The unpainted
inserts could then be pushed in by hand until only about 1cm was
showing.
Suppose then that you were rather enthusiastic with the etch primer and
after it had dried, tried to push the inserts in. Having got them half
way in with a hammer, what would you do if they really really didn't
want to go any further in? I mean hitting them with a hammer via a
block of wood is just splitting the wood.
What would you do? I doubt they are going to come out. Should I hit
them harder, heat the frame, pour acetone down to remove the etch primer
or just wait for the ACF 50 to work it's way through and try again?
Any thoughts would be more than appreciated,
Thanks,
Phil
