Estes Saturn V Build Part 38 Nozzle Fix

Earlier I had glued the supply tube to the nozzle.

Looking at the picture you can see the top of the supply tube is lower than the gluing nub on the nozzle top.

If left like this, the nozzles wouldn't glue in straight to the bottom plate.

I'll have to lengthen the supply tube.




Using the rotary punch, a small "donut" was made from a double thickness of scrap vacuform plastic.

I wanted the ring to be about the same diameter as the top of the supply tube gluing nub.





Here's the donut ring glued on the top of the supply tube.
Another ring is shown on my fingertip.

When all is painted and glued in place it won't be noticeable.
