1-9. Tie a loop in one end of one of the 23" (580 mm)
shock cords, securing the tail with masking tape. Tie the
opposite end of the shock cord using a sliding knot, slide
over the front (not hardened) end of the motor mount tube
and tighten.
1-10. Apply wood glue to the inside hole of the forward
centering ring (ring C) on the latch assembly, pass the
shock cord through the center hole and align it with the
notch while pressing the motor mount tube into place until
it bottoms out. Check that it is visually square to the latch
assembly. If this part isn't built square, the removable
mount will be difficult to install in the rocket. Once it is
straight, pull on the shock cord to tighten the loop against
the alignment frames.
1-11. Apply wood glue to the joint between the forward
centering ring and the motor mount tube then form a fillet
by shaping it with the tip of a finger. Also apply a fillet to
the shock cord all around the motor mount tube.
1-12. Make a ring of wood glue at the marked point 5/8"
(16mm) from the end of the tube. Slide the aft center-
ing ring assembly (ring D) with the base of the L facing
inward into place at the mark, aligning the hole with the
line drawn on the motor mount tube. Once the ring is in
place, apply a fillet to both sides of the ring. Let the glue
dry entirely.
1-13. Insert the all-thread rod into the mount through the
hole in the aft centering ring. The rod should extend
3/4" (18mm) beyond the end of the motor tube. Using a
thickened epoxy (such as Fix-It Epoxy) glue the rod into
place. Let the epoxy harden entirely before attempting
to install the mount in a rocket. Adjust the fit of the latch
as described below on page 10 ("Adjusting Mounts for
Correct Fit")

2-1. (Optional) Harden 1/4" (6 mm) of the end of the
motor mount tubes by saturating the inside with thin CyA
glue. This makes them less prone to damage. These will
be the aft end of the tubes.
2-2. Place one of the tubes against a door frame or sec-
tion of aluminum angle and mark the tube lengthwise.
Place marks at 1/8" (3 mm) from the forward end and 5/8"
(16 mm) from the aft (hardened) end. Mark the other two
tubes similarly.
