Custom Nomad Build Part 5 Gluing the Centering Rings

These 50/60 centering rings fit inside the edge of the BT-60 tubes.
Apply a line of glue inside the tube edge.
Be sure the rounded lip is facing inside the tube end. With the square cut side of the centering ring to the outside, you'll get a stronger edge with almost no gap to fill.
Press the ring into the tube on a flat surface.





Roll a dowel over the edge to get the ring flat and even with the end of the BT-60 tube.






Check the ring tube joint under a strong light. If any part of the ring is below the edge, you can push it back up from the inside while the glue is still wet. Here I'm using a dowel to get the flat surface of the ring even with the end of the tube.

After the ring is pushed up, roll the dowel over the top again to level it.
