LN Tube Sleeve Creation
Appearance
Before removing the LN tube from the system, mark the length needed for the tube sleeve
- with the LN tubes in the "up" position, mark 0.25 in away from the bottom the bottom of the IPS stop
- measure the distance from the end of the tube to 0.25 in outside for the tube grip at the GR FTC. Mark this distance on a piece of tape or on a ruler. Do not mark the LN tube, this distance will be the same for all tubes.
Measure a piece of tubular shoelace black 7/16
- Push the LN tube through the shoelace to the mark for the IPS stop distance. Pull the shoelace until it is snug on the tube.
- On the other end, pinch the sleeve at the distance for the GR FTC.
- Remove the tube from the sleeve.
- Push a metal rod through the sleeve, then use a hot knife to cut it to length.
Put the sleeve back onto the LN tube and secure each end with a ziptie.
- do not over tighten the ziptie, tighten it enough to allow the sleeve to be shifted but otherwise stay in place.
