The escape motor is a 1/8" diameter launch lug.
The extended tip is cut at the mid point, marked here with pencil. The cut is made with a razor saw.
Slide and glue the launch lug over the lower half.
The tip is glued in the upper end.
Note I previously filled and painted the nose cone white. I figured it would be easier than filling the grain afterwards.
Here's the assembly -
The nose cone and escape motor got a final shot of gloss white before the tower and structural skirt (next steps) are glued over the lug.
