Still baffling
Hours: 3.1 | Posted in Cowling & BafflesMore work on baffles: finished fitting the right rear and riveted it together, including the flange that will feed the right heater box. I need to figure out where to put the flange for the left heater, too, and there will be several blast tube flanges to mount, for mags and alternator.
With the rear baffles in place, the front sides were fit–those are two easy pieces. Next step was the brackets that mount to the engine case bolts. The rear bracket required a slight tweak in the injector line for the #4 cylinder to provide clearance there, and both engine lift straps had to be removed, since all the bolts are now in use to hold something or another.
Finally, worked on initial fitting of the bottom front sections, which form the bottom of the inlet ramps. Worked out most of the kinks (again many fit-mark-remove-tweak-repeat steps) before calling it a night.
