Firewall Forward Kit

Cowl Baffles ( 3 hrs )

Cut 6 lengths of 1" dia. PVC pipe to exactly 2.125" per "Simulating the Propeller for Fitting the Cowl" (re: Vans website at Construction FAQs).  Attached Spinner Backplate with 6 std hardware 1/2-20 x 3" bolts. Ready to start fitting Cowl in place per Sect 45 in Finish Kit.   Decided instead to do Sect 47 Cowl Baffles - seemed ready to do more deburring and riveting.  Completed Sect 47-02, Steps 1-8 Cylinder Baffles with addition of doublers.
spacers at 2 1/8" simulate actual CS Prop Hub
