May 20, 2008 - More Trimming Baffles

I re-installed all the baffles.  Notice the top edges are horizontally aligned. 
 
I put paper-clips on the top edges, sticking up 1/2". 
 
I need not have bothered with the paper clips.  I couldn't even get the top cowl to sit down in the proper position.  The rear baffle corners needed trimming just to get the bottom and top cowls to come together. 
 
Needs trimming somewhere.  I had to look through the oil filler door and the cowl inlets to try to find what was interferring with the top cowl.
 
I did some more trimming in the forward and aft corners, then put the paper-clips back on.
 
 
Getting closer.  Top cowl almost there.
 
Now when I remove the top cowl, you can see the paper clips are shoved all the way down. 
 
The forward baffle area is better, but it still needs a little trimming.
 
Right side needs at least 3/8" trimming.
