Quest Tomahawk SLCM Build Part 2 Engine Mount


Part C is the blue engine mount tube.
It's much longer than the parts illustration shows.


The test fit of the supplied centering rings wasn't good.
The upper ring is on a ST-7 tube.

The lower blue tube from the kit shows the loose fit of the centering ring.
I'm substituting the ST-7 tube. It's thicker and stronger than the blue tube and the rings have a correct fit.
I know the supplied shroud won't fit the ST-7 tube, but I was going to make a new shroud from 110 lb. card stock anyway.




The supplied engine block needed a wrap of card stock to fit the new ST-7 engine mount tube.
A strip was cut and glued on with a glue stick.
