This is where you can find how to make the bulkhead form. All I added was some epoxy putty to form a more streamlined bulkhead.

That's a pretty good tutorial showing how you do it. We were lucky and found a plastic egg that fits exactly on the T-8 FTC... that saved a lot of work. Your tutorial will be a help because we are running out of the perfect eggs and we can't find the same size eggs anymore.

Some of the eggs I have (like the ones in this tutorial)are the exact size of the T12 FTC. The don't fit inside or outside they rest nicely on top of the tube. This is not a lot of work. ( aside from the epoxy shell form) It took about 5 minutes including the use of the heat gun.
