Hi everybody, I've got a problem and would like to tap the hive mind for a solution.
I had a motor cato today (my own fault, should have used a plugged forward closure when I knew the delay element was damaged) that resulted in some propellant flame escaping through the forward end of the motor and up the rocket's booster section, and while the airframe of the rocket is pretty charred internally, I should be able to put it back into service with a little work. The problem is that the nylon harness I had that was permanently installed on the motor mount under the forward centering ring is now a melted, useless mess that I easily removed from the rocket by pulling on it. I'm now in need of a good way to permanently install a new (kevlar) harness into a high-power rocket booster section when the motor mount is already installed.
FYI, the rocket is a PML X-Calibur kit, which is a 2" rocket with a 38mm motor mount, so not much centering ring to work with. I converted it to dual-deploy, so the booster section only needs to hold the harness itself and a streamer.
