Leo Nutz Rail Button Adapter

On the Facebook Estes Model Rocket page, James JM asked: 
"Do they make 1010 rail buttons to put on Rockets like the Ascender and Mammoth that don't require drilling a hole?"

 

Leo Nutz answered: "I made my own by mounting a rail button to a dowel that fits snug in the launch lug. 
Has never failed me."

Questions: "So thats a 1010 button glued onto a dowel that slides into the original lug?"

Leo went on the explain: "Not glued (would never hold) but screwed into the dowel."

Question: "So the button is screwed into the dowel but is the dowel glued into the lug?"

Leo answered: "No, it is not glued into the launch lug but as I mentioned in my first post friction fitted."
