Your MG that started off as a hull

[HYDROJERRY]

And just wanted to show how easy it would be do make a standoff for your gear, i did this in about 15min last night on my Genesis,, first removed the rudder, had some long bolts so i drilled out the bolt holes that connected the rudder to the strut,, took a short measurement then found some tubeing just bigger then the bolts, cut them down the put the long bolts threw the strut bracket then slipped the tubeing over them then put on the rudder and nuts and here you have it!PS everybody loves pics..

Yes it is,
And they work great for soldering the bullet and anything else.
Shrink wrap to, Just not to close to it,
Also very cheap and portable to.

Lenny dosent that thing char your parts thow??? Great price thow..think i paid like 35.00 for mine.

[lenny]

No, Just a little flux resin that can be cleaned up if you want.

Lowe's has them to pretty cheap.

Miss Geico Hull Has Arrived!

there's no looking back now....

Nice!!!! Now finish the build and get her on the water!!!! Just kidding.. Take your time and do it right. You should blueprint the sponsons. Mine were cupped badly. Have you read about blueprinting the ride surfaces?

honestly, i have no idea what blueprinting is. first time i heard it was when shawn mentioned it. no i have not read about blueprinting ride surfaces.

If you do a search for blueprinting you will find a detailed thread about what I'm talking about. Basically you flip the boat over and take a nice flat sanding surface 12 inch minimum length, and start lightly sanding the bottom of the sponsons to get them perfectly flat. You will find that the ride surface is not flat we call this "hooks". After sanding a little you will find that you will need some glazing putty for the low spots. After the putty is dry, you sand again. Keep doing this until the ride pads are nice and flat. If you do this, you should do more reading up to make yourself familiar with the process. This will make the boat faster and alot more consistent when driving!
