[NSRCA-discussion] Nose-Rings: O-ring replacement for CH nosering?

[Mike Hester]

After much discussion, trial and error, the "fix" to this is to gently remove material from the O ring with a dremel and large drum sander, until it is a slip fit. You don't want it sloppy, but it should slide on and off without having to force it. Install with some lithium grease and you're all set! I've had to do a ton like this.

  Hi Guys,



  A while back Clayton Foster was making the CFE nose-rings and they always seemed to fit perfectly - snug but allows the engine to still rock back and forth.  I understand now that he is no longer making them, and that the Central Hobbies Nose-ring was supposed to be a replacement for it.  I have had several of the CH nose-rings and they fit so tightly as to form nearly a welded lock of the rubber to the motor.  I'm not opposed to making my own nose-rings, but I actually like the idea of being able to purchase something and use it once in a while too.  



  Has anyone found a P/N or different size O-ring to make these units fit the YS correctly?  After just speaking to Vaughn, he felt that the YS dimensional variances were too much to deal with so they shot for the middle ground.  If anyone has spec'd or tried a new o-ring for this device and could pass it along that would be great.



  Thanks,

  Jim
