Today was spent with the baffles again. The bend in the RHS floor baffle was simple enough although I'm not sure the amount was right yet. |
|
One mistake I made with the baffles earlier was the "C" cut for the oil pressure line. I cut it towards the inboard corner - what I should have done is go aftward. I ended up removing a larger area of the floor (the black marked area) and keying the 1/8" stiffener in the right direction. |
|
Slowly getting there, lots of try, mark, trim & repeat. |
|
The RHS bracket (part #16 I think) needed to be remade - after recovering some .063 it was just a mark, trim test etc.... |
|
We also increased the downward bend on the LHS. |
|
This was the RHS result of the bracket and some temporary fastners. |
|
I also trimmed much of the excess material creating the needed 3/8" space between the cowl and baffle tops. |
