An out of province wedding the week before Christmas followed by the hub-bub of Christmas activities halted all buildng for a few weeks. Baffle work back in full production mode, oil cooler mounted, rework on the aft baffles to accomodate the Fuel Distribution block. It seems like the baffles have taken forever to finish but I am nearing completion as the rubber seal strips finally go in place.

Fitting Baffles
Spent the evening working away on the aft baffle pieces. What would normally be straight forward installation is complicated by the Precision fuel distribution assembly. I worked away at it until I had a nice baffle fit around the large filter cannister. I’ll add a few nutplates and a removable piece to fill in the hole under the filter. I should be able to find a rubber or plastic channel to protect the filter from the baffle plate. The fuel pressure transducers on the fuel distribution block will need to be repositioned as their connector plugs are too close to the baffle.
