June 14, 2008 - Rivet Air Seals

 The black RTV dried nicely and seemed to do a good job of keeping the air seals tighly attached to the baffles.  I then pop-riveted the air seals to the baffles, using the wide head steel pop-rivets supplied in the baffle kit.
  
A close up.  I don't think I'm going to have any air leaks here. 
  
You may recall I had to modify the aft bracket bottom.  Well I had to modify the top too.  I had to chop the top off and then rivet a splice to the aft flange, so I could have something to put the top bolt through. 
 
Baffles aren't done yet but I'm getting there....
