Default Etrac X-1 Upper Shaft

Got brave today and drilled two holes in my upper shaft.
Used a Step Bit to get to the 3/4" opening for plug.

Took my Dremel Tool and grinded out the opening.
I liked having my coil wire inside the shaft.

My Fish Tape is a looped string with a bead for weight.
Half Hitched Knot over the plug, pull thru the shaft.

Undo the fish tape and keep it on the next coil wire.
This project is very easy to do within 3 hours.

Hunt Happy!
