Alright now... enough of that...
Gotta get some recovery gear in this Wedgie.
The instructions direct you to cut a 3/16" notch in both centering rings, enough for the lunch lug to pass thru the notch. A hobby saw was used to make the notch. I suppose a stout pair of sissors would acomplish the task faster.
A finger board (nail file) was used to clean up the paper boogers left from cutting. Finger boards are available at Wal Mart. You might ask your self;
"If I were a package of finger boards at Wal Mart , were would I be hiding?"
Not a problem... follow the game trail left by women as they've made their way to the Finger Nail Paint bush. The elusive finger boards will be hiding in a burrow right next to the Finger Nail Paint bush. Firmly grab what ya need and exit quickly. You do not want to be exposed for any length or period of time in this hazardous no mans land.
Next, a few layers of paper need to be removed from the ring to make shallow notch, enough to allow the elastic shock cord to fit between the I.D. of the ring and the O.D. of the motor tube. The instructions don't call for it but I added a small notch on the bottom of the ring so the elastic could pass between the two rings freely.
All the cuts and notches were soaked with thin CA to prevent delamination and filed smooth with the finger board that was obtained by fearlessly wading into a dangerous situation, risking both life and limb.
