With the front baffle being the next on the todo list, I decided the cowl needed more trimming. We marked a line parallel with the front of the cowl inlets for the outboard points and just infront of the spinner for the inboard locations (not the left and right are different for the inboard locations due to the prop 'pointing' to the right).
Then more trimming / testing / fitting for the floors and side baffles.
The side to floor fixing is done by a single piece of AL angle on the LHS and two pieces on the RHS. The LHS (Part 2S) is slightly easier to start with but rather intricate bends / joggles and filing. Slow careful work.
The resulting piece cleco'd to the floor
A close up on the interesting bends (Part 2, 2R & 2S).
