The motor mount tubes are the same ones that come with the smaller Quest kits.
There is a pre cut slit for an engine hook, but there are no metal hooks in this kit.
So . . . Place the side with the slit to the top. The engine block will strengthen that slit end of the tube.
I'm not a big fan of these thin, rough tubes. The lower (exposed) end got a wipe of CA glue and smooth sanding.
The tubes are marked with pencil for the centering ring positions.
That black ash could get everywhere when sliding them over the yellow tubes.
I double checked the spacing of the rings before applying any glue.
Fillets are added afterwards.
Notice I didn't continue the fillets inside the tight center, just the areas I could easily reach with a finger for smoothing.
The mount assembly was set on a flat surface to be sure all the engine tubes were in line.
The top was evened up using my sanding block. Don't sand the tubes, just press down on the flat block to get all the tubes even.
