Started installing nose formers and nose cone guide pins today. I got the carbon tubes and magnets over the weekend so all the parts needed are in. The 8mm guide pin tubes fit inside the 10mm tubes perfectly so I did not have to make my own sleeves for the guide pins
I realized my Come Along Design "CAD" plans did not come far enough to allow any material on the second former to mount the 10mm sleeves on so I changed the design a little. I rotated the front formers so the guide pins are at 12, 3, 6, and 9. This will allow the carbon tube sleeves to contact the nose tray former without mods. You guys with real CAD would have figured that out on screen real fast. Alass...old school cut and paste, sometimes cut twice and still have to paste.
Nose formers drilled for 1/2" magnets. Guide pin holes are for 8mm carbon tubes
All holes drilled ready for dry fits
8mm carbon tubes cut and beveled on one end to engage the 10mm tube sleeves
Guide pins inserted to nose cone former
Pins squared with former and tacked on with drop of med CA
Formers dry fit before gluing in
