Centuri Finless Build Part 9 Lug Slot

This is the first try at the lug hole in the shroud.

The shroud sides are still raised too high from the pressure of the lug underneath. I'll make the slot longer by punching another hole a little farther back.
In the end the punched hole was 11/16" back from the smaller front of the shroud.

Making a accurate lug hole and slot in a shroud will be different with every shroud size you make. It varys because of the shroud length and how the lug sits under the shroud angle.


TIP: Sand a slight angle on the edge of the centering ring. Angle your sanding block to the same angle as the shroud side.

By doing this, you'll get a better fit of the ring against the inside of the shroud. You'll also see less of the ring "imprint" on the outside of the shroud after gluing the two together.
