If you have a LOC 38mm motor mount, to which an Aeropack motor retainer has been glued on the recommended way, could tell me the distance between:

- the aft end of the motor tube, and
- the aft end of the installed retainer cap.

I want the retainer cap on a scratch-built to be flush with the aft end of the body tube. So I need to know how far to push in the motor tube.
 
Dry fit it first, then mark with pencil, remove and glue.
Remember it will stick out further wiith motor installed as the cap will not screw down as far as when no motor is in it.
So if you want it flush with rear of aft end.... a motor must be installed when you figure all this out.

Dimensions of all products are on AP's website, if ya wanna go that route. I prefer dry fitting so I get it exact.
