After pressing the centering ring into the disk lip some excess contact cement might show.
I used a sharpened dowel end to roll the glue off.
Keep at it, it'll come off in small rolled beads.

Just like on the big rings, I coated the nose cone shoulder ring with CA applied with a Q-Tip.
Again this hardens the ring and makes for cleaner sanding with 400 grit on a block.
Sanding a little now will make a better fit on the flat top of the BT-60 tube assemblies.

The balsa bulkhead is glued into the centering ring and against the inside surface of the disk dome. The picture shows a dry fit.
There was a little too much play for my liking. In the next post I'll show how to get a better alignment and fit against the flat top of the topmost BT-60 tube ring.
