Installed the elevator pushrod support at station 111. This comprises a half diagonal of tubing positioned to carry the pushrod support in a straight line from the control mechanism to the elevator horn. In my case the pushrod runs through a 3/4" linear bearing which is mounted in a 1-3/8" section of tube welded to the half-diagonal. The bearing is secured in the tube using a grub screw. This provides a very smooth support for the pushrod. The second picture shows the bearing partially inserted into the mount.
