Brief:
The system is basically 2 pieces. One threaded retainer "ring" that fits over the motor tube like a collar. Then a threaded cap that screws on the ring. As with typical RMS stuff, the RMS aft closure still sits on the motor tube. Then the retainer ring surrounds both the tube and the aft closure. The retainer ring is epoxied with high heat JB Weld epoxy. Then the cap actually screws on to the ring (like a top screws on a soda bottle) and holds the RMS system firmly in place.
The good: It seems to be a high quality product. I looked for imperfections and didn't see anything. The installation is a snap, you just have to make sure that you have enough clearance for the RMS aft closure. (see Note) When the system is installed, it looks very clean and professional.
The bad: For what it is, it seems a little pricy. But, if that is all the bad, then it may be worth the price.
