No fiberglass on the outside of the control box, just on the inside. 1/4" round off and a few coats of varnish blended into existing with sanding and buffing. I decided to just glue the knob onto the CF pushrod. All very lightwieght, simple, and smooth action from friction of CF rod in the teflon sheath. The friction seems just about right. I was thinking if it was too loose I would put a little pinch block clamp on the sheath somewhere inside out of the way. 2 little wood blocks with a screw to tighten them together would be adjustable. Tested ahead of time it worked fine but right now not needed.
