The instructions say to use a hobby knife to "cut the nose cone into two sections." I found the plastic thick and ended up using my old razor saw.
The rough sawn edge ends up rougher than a blade cut. The edges were sanded with 220, then 400 grit.
The eyelet was also very thick. It took a few small punches with the knife tip to pop it out.
The adapter has a great fit in the body tube.
But - the fit into the green payload tube was pretty loose! The instructions say to add some tape wraps to tighten things up.
Yeah, quite a bit of tape, as it turned out. Same for the nose cone shoulder. And since these moldings (in a different color) are also used on the H-L Olympus, same there as well.
