Quest AS-1 Escort Build, Part 7, Gap Caps?

The gap caps are needed so the ejection charge doesn't blow out the back between the offset tubes.
GOTCHA: These are printed on 110 lb. cardstock. While this thickness might work, I would rather have them as thick as a regular centering ring.
I did two more laminations of 110 lb. cardstock.
I was making two models at the same time, two sets are shown.

These are hard to cut out, Quest does supply an extras.
TIP: Cut out the centers first, then the outside lines. Trust me, it's easier this way, if you were to cut the outside line first you have nothing to hold onto when cutting out the center.
Pick and use the better of the two cut caps.

Apply a line of glue 1/8" from the short end of the angle cut center tube.
Oops! I glued the gap ring on upside down. It makes more sense to glue it inward. (See pic below)  Shrox designs are different than anything else out there. Pay attention!

Here's how the ring should be glued on!

The ring edges look thick. This was after sanding down the edges to fit in the forward tube. I left the thick rolled over edge for a wider gluing surface. The rolled edge will be inside, no one will see it.
