Start by marking the 1/2" square stock for 2 holes. The first hole center is 1/4" from the end of the stock. The next hole is 1 3/32" from the center of the first hole, then measure 1/4" more from the center of the last hole, and mark the stock for cut off. The tolerances for the center to center distances are not critical, they are +  or - 1/16". The #19 drill bit is the exact size of the outside diameter of an 8-32 machine screw, so it makes a perfect fit. Drill the holes using the #19 drill bit and cut the tube at the mark. This is the linkage between the actuator and the existing lock mechanism. I recommend that you paint the linkage with rust proof primer after it is drilled and trimmed. Spray some primer inside the square tubing first, and then spray the outside. This will keep things from rusting and ruining your hard work.
