Title: Engine baffling; Prop governor bracket.
Continued building the engine baffling: 1. Assembled the baffles for Cylinders 2 and 1, including trimming each one to fit its specific cylinder, fabricating doublers, filing and polishing the edges of all parts, and riveting on the valve cover attachment doublers, 2. I need to reposition a few things to make room for the 45-degree oil cooler plenum behind Cylinder #3, so I have ordered a few parts from Vans. (The way things are going with them, I should have the parts by Christmas.) 3. I also researched how to get (or make) a prop governor cable bracket. A few years ago, Vans discontinued the part (VA-183) that will work with my governor, and the one they now provide will need extensive modification to work. However, a guy in Arizona designed the perfect part. He doesn't build them, but he does make his engineering drawing available online. So I may have to fabricate the thing myself. In case I end up doing that, I ordered some squares of 0.063" 4130 steel plate.
