Quest Lil' Grunt Build #Q5014, Part 2, Engine Mount


Like the smaller Quest kits,
The Kevlar line is tied to the 1/4" elastic shock cord with a simple overhand knot.

This is a bit different though, the Kevlar is doubled and the two loose ends are tied to the elastic.






It's not easy getting all the ends even,
hold them together and cut all three lines at once with a wire cutter.





The centering rings got some relief punches for engine hook movement and a small hole for the Kevlar to pass through.

The fit was too tight around the engine tube - 
I did some scraping with an X-Acto blade to open up the diameter.






Here's how the Kevlar loop end is attached to the engine mount.
After the line is drawn tight, it is pressed into the wet glue fillet under the top centering ring.
