I'm starting my first fiberglass build. It uses a wildman 54mm thin walled fiberglass MMT. I'm using an aeropack retainer (54P size) and the fit is a lot loser than I am accustomed to. The ID of the retainer measures 57.86mm and the tube OD measures 56.86mm. A 1mm gap is A LOT larger than what I've experienced with aeropack retainers on cardboard MMTs. I am guessing this is normal with wildman thin walled fiberglass? I just epoxy the retainer on like I normally would?
edit - I see there are -TW versions of the retainers available for 38 and 54mm MMTs. Problem is I'm using a tailcone retainer. Not sure I want to order another retainer assembly just to get the MMT side. Time to email wildman.
