Enerjet News, Mercury Little Joe I, Part 6, Nozzle Angle Fix



I had to make a new cover plate for the rear centering ring. Two layers of 110 lb. card stock were glued together with a glue stick.
The ring was traced and cut just the center hole cut out.




New holes were punched, closer to the engine tube.
The cover plate was glued onto the centering ring.
After the glue dried the overlap was trimmed off.

Holes were punched closer to the engine tube through the new cover piece. The old holes won't be seen with the cover plate glued on.

The picture on the right shows the better angle of the nozzles.
