## Questions & Answers

**Q: do they fit a B6-4 engine**
A: The owner's answer is not 100% correct. The tubes, at 2.4 cm, are larger than A, B, and C engines (a diameter of about 1.8 cm), if that is what you are asking. These of course can accommodate the engines with an engine mount tube, which you can buy or build on your own. While this question is 2 years old, I hope it will help someone else looking.

**Q: Would these be good to roll tablecloths on**
A: A very odd question. The tubes are built like the crescent roll packaging only far thinner. They can be easily compromised by banging on an edge of the table or even too much weight unsupported. This would only work if the tablecloths were very light. I think a wooden dowel would work better and last longer.

**Q: I'm looking for something that is sturdier than a paper towel roll but otherwise the same (except for length, which i can cut). i'm confused by the dimensions - 17.9 x 5 x 1.1 inches - i'm assuming they are 17.9 inches long and 1.1 inches in diameter but can't figure out what the "5" in the dimension relates to.  are t…**
A: I have purchased these. The dimensions of the tubes are 18" long by 1.1" in diameter.  I do not know what the "5" indicates.

**Q: how many tubes per pack?**
A: 3 tubes in a pack
