Pictures of the nozzle extension handling fixture. Once I got the camera high enough to go over the top of the extension, I could no longer see through the viewfinder, so these were "shooting blind."

Picture 2 of 4.

Note the yellow pads near the bottom of the nozzle extension. These are nozzle exit strut pads. The side of the strut pad which engages with the nozzle extension is covered with rubber pad, to hold the nozzle extension on the handling fixture without putting undue stress on the walls of the nozzle extension. The rubber pads do, however, sometimes leave marks on the interior of the nozzle extension.
