I have been repairing the fiberglass nosecone, and ran into a problem and a solution.  Once I pieced the nosecone back together, it was 1/2" too wide where it was supposed to be bolted through the upper tube.  If I bolted it on it could be pulled into place, but I thought it would be likely to crack under vibration.  When pulled in, it measured 17" on the outside at that point.  I placed it panel down on a piece of wood, and screwed 2 blocks spaced 17" apart to hold it in position.  I took a heat gun and warmed up the area thoroughly to stress relieve it.  When it cooled, it retained the 17" dimension.  It worked great, and only took 5 minutes.  Just passing along the tip.
