Now the baffle assembly.

The perforated baffle disks register into the ID of the JT60 baffle body. I've epoxied those in as well as the shock cord screw eye. Once the baffle assembly is glued into the main BT60 it will probably never again be serviceable so I've cut a length of 100# braided Kevlar and tied it to the screw eve with (2) bowline knots and (1) lark's head knot. The supplied shock cord is the rubber kind, so I've rep[laced it with a 1/4" wide braided elastic fabric cord that's 48" long.

I then epoxy the baffle and shock cord assembly into the main BT60. A 4" length of tube is provided in the kit to push the baffle assembly in the correct distance.

Last step for the night. After marking the BT60 for external features I epoxy the boat tail into the main BT60.

Time for some Scotch! Good night.
