The 3/16" launch lug is cut in half for two 1" long pieces.
I get the cleanest cuts without crushing the lug using a new razor blade.
The shock cord mount is a standard Estes tri-fold.
TIP: As normal for me, I glue the rubber shock cord at an angle so the finished mount lays flatter against the inside body tube wall.
I set the nozzle in a scrap segment of BT-55 to spray it silver, off the model. Paper was taped around the tube to keep the paint off.
The plastic nozzle is a tight fit in the BT-55 tube.
After spraying silver, the edge was sanded and rounded off for an easier slide in the body tube.
The upper launch lug was glued onto the fin before the fin was glued on the rocket body.
The forward lug is glued parallel to the small root edge, 1/2" in.
