Odd'l Rockets F-104 Starfighter Build, Part 2, Engine Mount

The engine mount construction is pretty typical.

The 150 lb. Kevlar line is attached like many of the Semroc kits. The tied loop is under the upper bend of the engine hook.

The 20/50 centering rings are notched for the engine hook (see inset picture) They are slid over the hook into position and fillets are applied to either side joint.

TIP: You might find it easier to slid the rings in place (dry) and apply the glue after the rings are in place. Don't worry, they won't move during thrust.

Look to the inset picture first -
The Monokote chrome trim piece wrap is started under the engine hook. Continue the wrap around the tube lining up the edge of the wrap with the end of the tube.
Lift the engine hook and finish wrap the end under the hook.
