Centurion Project, Part 4, Dual 18mm Engine Mount



The inside edges of the engine mount tubes got a wipe of medium CA glue before assembly.
Notice here I am also applying CA just over the edge of the tube. Light sanding follows with 400 grit.


On the left is a dry fit of the dual 18mm mount parts. Be sure the tape retention piece is just below the upper centering ring.

On the right the mount is flipped over to see the orientation of the engine hooks.



Before gluing the rings in place, check the fit of the basswood locking piece. It should slip in but not allow much movement between the rings.
