A leader tape staking rod and related method of assembly are provided. The staking rod includes an injection molded, elongated member having two opposing, substantially flat sides, two opposing, subsantially curved sides, a first end and a second end, and a square-shaped opening formed through the elongated member from the first end to the second end. The method uses a tool having a corresponding square-shaped tip for engaging and transporting the staking rod to the vicinity of the leader block which receives the leader tape in a substantially cylindrical opening. The staking rod is then inserted into the opening formed in the leader block in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the opening with its two opposing, substantially flat sides adjacent the mouth of the opening. The staking rod is then rotated about the longitudinal axis of the opening formed in the leader block by the tool to a point where its two opposing, substantially curved sides create an interference fit with the walls of the opening formed in the leader block, permanently trapping the leader tape in position. The tool is then withdrawn in a direction colinear with the longitudinal axis of the opening. |
