Here's the first new vane after fitting. The outside edge is larger than it needs to be for now. After I'm sure all the inside edges fit well, the outside edge will be trimmed to fit Shrouds 1 and 3.Each vane will be individually fitted to it's own position going around the lined Shroud #2.
Position #1 is to the right of the launch lug. Going counter-clockwise around the shroud is positions 2 through 8
I used that first fit vane as a new template for the others.Tracing around the vane made the next one slightly oversize.
Being a little oversize gave me some leeway as the shape of the shrouds change slightly as you go from fitting one vane to the next.
Each new vane was sanded to size and it's position marked.
Each vane was marked with small dots (1 - 8 dots) on the root edge.
