Oct 05, 2023 10 baffles Category: Engine
Riveted on the baffle rubbers this morning. This process started with them clecoed on and a trial fit of the upper cowling. I marked some conflict areas around the inlet openings and behind the spinner circle, removed the cowling and then trimmed. I didn't want to end up trimming off too much, so this was a process of trim a little bit, puttee cowl back on and check again, rinse & repeat.

I've got to have the lower cowl on to make sure the upper is correctly positioned vertically. Because I've got several things to work on up front I'm not going to put it on right now, but this was looking pretty good at this point, so I went ahead and riveted on all the rubbers.

Once the baffle rubber was riveted on, I went ahead and reinstalled the prop governor bracket and loosely reinstalled the prop cable. I'll need to be able to move the prop knob in order to verify travels before I lock this down, and I'm going to give it another couple of days for the sika to harden on the canopy skirt before I open up the copy and get access to the panel.

I went to the shop at work and used the brake and shear there to make some angle clips and standoffs that I plan to use for securing the spark plug wires and then once I was back home, spent the rest of the day tinkering with different routings for those.
