Space X Falcon Build Part 2 Engine Mount

I relaced the small sticker made to hold the engine hook in place. I thought it was too small. It's shown above the longer strip I used.
The longer strap was cut from some of the border area on the large sticker sheet.

The upper centering fing is glued between the two laser cut guidelines around the motor mount tube.
You can just see the laser cut location line below the smaller sticker.




This is a dry fit of the engine mount showing the motor mount tube even with the end of the plastic fin can.















The mount is inserted from the top and through the lower plate molded inside the fin can.

Epoxy is used to glue the top centering ring to the inside of the fin can.
After the epoxy was transferred with the end of a dowel, the excess was picked up using Q-tips.
