Scott, I take back that the transition is a tight fit in a BT-60 for the Sat 1B, bought a better printer and it fits fine. Also discovered if I upscale the fin unit to 103% the inside diameter
then matches a BT-60 and from there I found the Semroc BT-4 from eRockets seems to work well as the tank tubes, 8 of them fit in the BT-60 and the upscaled fin unit.
