this is what i usually do, make a brass lug for the chimney to sit on, but I do like Carl's ideal for the tapered stacks.

I have used 3/4" magnets to keep the Smoke Stacks from not falling off.

Your stack attachment point is better than the one I've been using without the magnets.

Carl.....that is ingenious mate!

I'll be ordering some of the right size on eBay.

Nothing worse than filming a Jensen, only to have the stack vibrate off and ruin the shot... happens every time!  :D

Love all my Jensen engines, but those smokestacks....I uses Rog's idea of a few drops of superglue on all of them to keep them in place.

I wish that little pressed 'button' that you push the smokestack on was twice the height.
