Alright, well during lunch time I moved the turbine forward on its mounts and this seems to have helped out quite a bit. There is now a good amount of clearance between the rear former and the turbine and the stock pipe now seems to fit better. I did not have to "squish"it as much so once I get some ceramic blanket and slather on some BVM heat shield I think we will be good to go.

I also got the threaded insert glued into the nose former and cut the slots in the fuse to accept the former. Next up will be getting the pitot threaded rod shortened and fit and then glue in the former and its supports.
