Jun 16, 2022     Intake snorkel and oil cooler plenum - (3.3 hours)       Category: Firewall Forward
1. Cut off the flange of the snorkel to match the outline of the fuel servo inlet.
2. Drilled the four attachment holes and enlarged them to 1/4"
3. Test-fit the snorkel and once again checked all the clearances. Finalized the edges of the three holes where the clearance blisters will be created in the snorkel.
4. Rounded the corners of the attachment flange.
5. Used a flapper sander on a Dremel tool to smooth out the inside of the snorkel.
6. Scuffed the areas around the future clearance blisters.
7. Did the layoups for all three clearance blisters. I did two layups on each one -- I'll see how they come out, and decide whether to do another layer.

8. Used a flapper sander to smooth the outside and inside of the oil cooler plenum, in preparation for priming and painting it, Used Super-Fil filler to perfect some minor imperfections. [No photo yet.]
