New JAE 21 GT BUILD

[timothy johnson]

Thanks John for another great tank! Guys please take note that this tank size will require removing some deck material and boom tube doubler material for the tank to fit, however you will have plenty of fuel for heat racing.

That springed box looks trick to get things nicely squared up and good pressure.

Thanks tim can't wait to see it in the boat

Hey justin iam building a 21gt to and I love your jig but I noticed that you have the stuffing box tube bulk head in backwards I think compared to mine let me know what you think I looked in the book and I think it faces the other way to hold the radio box lid thanks

 

[JUSTINROGERS]

John from what i saw prepping everything that lip is for the cowl. There should be a piece that is laser cut the same as the radio box and bait box just a little smaller so when you glue it on it makes an edge around everything. Tim what did you do?

 

[johnsteltzer]

In the book it tells you that it faces to the rear I might be wrong but I think that what it said I will read it again if you look on page 7 you will see the fit in the picture

 

[johnsteltzer]

Justin look at the pictures of tim,s boat on the other post he put up and you will see it

Yes it should face rear. The deck will cover it. I would just leave it and make another one for other side.

 

[johnsteltzer]

That's a good idea butch that should work good

 

[JUSTINROGERS]

John you are right i have it the wrong way thanks for pointing that out. Its not for the lid its for the deck to rest on. I will change it.

 

[johnsteltzer]

Any time
