You are pretty close to spot on, the only nosecone that is exactly the same as the Leviathan is the Big Daddy's, the PNC-300 sold by Balsa Machining, Apogee, and Mercury Engineering is two inches longer (I used to have a side by side comparison picture somewhere) in the ogive section.How much of a stickler are you? Balsa Machining sells a plastic one that is close, I think. IIRC, the Big Daddy and Leviathan use the same NC. Stop me right there if I am wrong. If I'm right, then this one is close:

That's the one, thanks. When the forum software upgraded all the photos uploaded by my account vanished from it, they are still in the posts just not in a gallery type file for me to pick from any longer.Hey boss, I have a copy of that photo you posted that shows the shorter Big Daddy Nose Cone beside the Balsa Machine 300 Nose Cone. Here it is
Outside of a Big Daddy Cone, this is about your only choice to fit that tube.
I didn't even know the Big Daddy was still in production. Price at AC is $20.99, but with a flat $11.99 shipping charge for orders under $100. Shipping is always the killer for small orders. Still if you can find a few other items you need probably the best way to get the nose cone.I believe the in-style method of getting those cones is to by a discount Big Daddy from AC Supply
That link was blocked in my workplace for a webcat of "illegal activities." What's up with that?If you want something exactly to your spec, contact Roachwerks. They'll custom turn a cone for you. One of the best quality products I've ever seen.

No idea why its being blocked. His hosting provider may not be 100% clean, I don't know. Gordon used to be here on TRF quite a bit but I haven't seen him in a while.That link was blocked in my workplace for a webcat of "illegal activities." What's up with that?
He usually seems to hang out over on YORF username Sandman.No idea why its being blocked. His hosting provider may not be 100% clean, I don't know. Gordon used to be here on TRF quite a bit but I haven't seen him in a while.
And Balsa Machining Service no longer providing machining service.With Python Rocketry out of commission...
Really?? I was just going to have BMS do some centering rings and bulkheads for me.
And now you're right back where you were! Welcome to forum advice
Quite some time ago he stopped doing custom nose cones and transitions, and I'm pretty sure custom centering rings. He had quite a variety of customizable templates, but when I asked one day if a particular deviation from the templates would be possible (and I was totally ready to take "no" for an answer) he told me he was giving up on the whole thing. Checking the web site just now, I don't see any mention of custom work.Really?? I was just going to have BMS do some centering rings and bulkheads for me.
