Lest someone wonder what the discussion about brazing was all about, attached are the results of my efforts.
After liberal application of penetrant and gentle tapping over a three week period without any results, I utilized my lawnchair to cogitate over the matter. After 1/2 cup of coffee, I determined it would be easier to simply cut the bell crank off and build another rather than pound on it further. I had the tube stock from the Dillsburg package, so I saved the triangle, redrilled the hole, and brazed the tubing in place - Mike (yeah, no big deal to those who have been doing this for a while, but for me, I'm having the time of my life putzing around like this!)
