Peter Alway Saturn IV Build, Part 6, Engine Mount




The engine mount should have been a standard assembly.
The 20-60 centering rings were a little big around the BT-20 engine tube.


In the past I've ran a line of white glue on the edge of the ring to make the diameter smaller.
This time some copy paper was wrapped around the engine tube glued in place with a glue stick.
The overhanging edge was sanded off, flush with the end of the tube.


The black Letramax rings were notched for the engine hook with the rotary punch.
The upper ring (right side) got a small notch for the upper end of the engine hook.


Here's the finished mount.
A wrap of electrical tape holds down the center of the hook.
