Default Wanted Estes Gemini Titan Fin Lock Ring

Have just discovered an unbuilt 80s Estes Gemini Titan in my old model stash. Its complete except somewhere over the years, I've lost the fin lock ring, type 1918, part #33305. If anyone has one of these in any condition they'd be willing to sell and mail to Canada, please let me know. Or even if you can share some measurements so I can make one. Much appreciated!

How many different kits used those clear fin units? Always thought it would be nice if they would make those available.

Some early Bail Outs, then some came in black, before going to a one piece unit.

I may have missed some. Sorry about the measurements- I am fighting a sinus infection and pretty much crawled into bed when I got home.

I'm just finishing off a week of a sinus cold. 'Tis the season, I guess. I have best luck keeping my head clear with Tylenol Sinus, the day/night combo pack. I've tried everything and I'm sticking with this stuff now. Hope you feel better soon.
So no hurry, but whenever you feel like it, if you do, the measurements would be handy, so I can place the engine holder and just in case I still have to build one. Working on my Estes Titan III. First rocket I've built. What a blast!

Indeed. The ONLY reason I have a ring laying around is from a Beta Launch Vehicle kit that I bashed into a (far cooler) Recruiter.

BTW, if anyone needs the clear plastic fin unit--PM me. It will be the clear plastic fin unit ONLY but not the locking ring. The locking ring is spoken for by starseeker.
