Description
Save money by sharing the same motor retainer cap between two rockets. You can use the motor retainer cap from one full Aeropack Motor Retainer Assembly with this Aeropack Motor Retainer Body to secure motors in 2 different rockets. Properly sized retainer bodies adhere well to a well roughed up motor tube because of the grooves on the inside of the retainer body. Be sure to use 60-grit sand paper to rough the surface of the motor tube and use a high temperature epoxy like JB Weld to mount the retainer body to the end of the motor tube. And make sure to use the best fitting retainer base for your motor tube--each size retainer base fits a slightly different motor tube:
