In this step, the top connector is recessed into the top foil to serve as a bushing and the trim cap
is attached.

Lay the wire out straight on a clean work area such
as a dock.
Slide the trim cap and one connector to the top of the
headstay.
Note: If the top foil is less than 12" (305 mm), slide
only the trim cap to the top of the headstay.
Slide the rest of the connectors to the bottom
of the stay.
Secure the connectors at the bottom of the headstay
with tape as shown.
Tip: Leave at least 1" (25 mm) between each connector. Wrap enough
tape on the wire so that the connectors cannot pass over it.

Instructions:
Because the lower end of the wire is open, you will not place
the connectors on the headstay until needed so you should
ignore references to taping the connectors at the bottom of the
headstay.
Rod Instructions:
Rod installations are identical to swaged wire at this point. You
may find that the rod is difficult to lay flat and two people may
be required to hold the rod straight while foils are slipped up
the headstay.
