Nose Ring Installation

Nose Ring Installation |
|
| Now you need to drill the first (front) spacers for the retaining bolts. Use the nose ring/laminate that you prepared to figure out where to drill. It's best to install the engine on the mount and the plate on the engine for this. (Oh yeah - you have to have installed your firewall and mount before starting this project!) You want to have the holes miss the aluminum, and you want to leave at least 5/32" of the balsa/glass material outside of the hole. DO NOT drill the balsa/glass at this time, just use it to position the holes. When you have the hole locations marked, drill a hole through the nose and the first set of play spacers (ONLY!) that is big enough for the HEAD of the bolt you'll be using to pass through. (That's right, the head). I use 4-40 bolts. (see photo 3). | |
