Custom Nomad Build Part 11 Dry fit


Here's one of the reasons I didn't glue the rings to the BT-50 tube using the measurements shown in the instructions. With everything dry fitted at the specified measurements, you can see the small gap.


That gap would have led to problems when gluing the four black lugs between the BT-60 assemblies. I'm not saying the instructions are wrong, I just like to make sure and get a guaranteed good fit.

One of the black lugs is shown friction fitted in place. If there were a slight gap, the fit of the lugs would be too loose to be glued.



After I was sure the BT-60 assemblies were in the right location and could hold the black lugs in place, The tube was marked for gluing and painting.
