and not to the engine top.

For the chimney....

I took a piece of roof flashing, rolled a bit into a tube
that fits the engine top, epoxied it and taped it to hold
till the epoxy hardens.  Paint it as you see fit, mine is
black with a bit of gold paint at the top.  It is 1 3/4"
tall, a length that seemed proportional with the engine.
I like the way it looks, even without a topper!

Good Luck,
Wayne

Good luck.  Mine was a basket case but is a good runner after much work.
They were made for a looooong time and don't take up much space.
I've added a video for encouragement!

When you are done you should put a video on u-toob!

Good Luck,
Wayne
