Worked about 20 hours over a several of days on this. Baffles are installed, but I will still have to install baffle seals and I will also need to modify the forward end where they interface with the holes in the cowling.

Cutting threads in the baffle tension rods hard beed the hardest part of this so far. My Chinese tap and die set wasn't up to the task so I had to swing by Ace and replace it. That stainless is hard!

There were a couple of places that there was potential interference with the worm clamps to the oil return lines. I pulled off the offending clamps trimmed the excess off the ends and rechecked them to eliminate any potential rubbing. I also sleeved all 4 tension rods for a belt and suspenders approach.

Also, it's been stinking hot here this week. Over 90 in the shop by early afternoon.
