Centuri Saturn 1B body tube
Hello,
I'm new to the group, but built and launched a lot of Estes rockets back in the mid-1980s. I've taken it back up and over the past couple months built a few, including a #2001 Saturn V, a #1284 Space Shuttle, and a Dr. Zooch Falcon Heavy. I recently purchased an old Centuri 1/100 scale Saturn 1B kit (#SA-205) off eBay. Everything seems to be here, but the largest body tube has been crushed. I've done some measurements and searched online, and it looks like the Estes version of this tube is: BT-82A 2.618” OD x 7.635” long The ID of mine is 65.6mm or 2.58" The OD of mine is 66.5mm or 2.618" Do you think a standard BT-80 (2.560" ID / 2.600" OD) is close enough to work with my other existing parts? Or do you know of anybody making this exact tube? Or would I perhaps be better off attempting to repair the one I have? thanks, luther |
