Micro-Maxx Estes Fat Boy, Part 3, Centering Rings


I sure the small rings are available somewhere, I didn't have them. Why wait for an order. I'm cheap so I'll make a few.

A 1/4" punch was used to start the inside ring hole.

The hole was widened using a knife spin followed by a half round diamond file.
The fit was checked with the yellow engine tube I had.

Center the BT-20 tube over the cut just made and trace with a sharp pencil point.




Cut just inside the pencil line using scissors.

Final fitting in the next post -
