Firewall Forward

Starting on Baffles

I don’t think that Elton was finished with the baffles and some of it won’t work with some of the changes that I’m planning to make.  Mostly the baffles that he had were set up to take induction air from right rear baffle.  That had to do with the engine having a rear facing sump.  The servo is just not going to fit on the back of engine without cutting into the firewall.  I’d rather just replace the sump so the baffles need to change.

I started by cutting patterns out of posterboard.  It shouldn’t be too difficult to make these baffles since I have pretty good patterns to go by with what Elton has already done.  I wanted to get this done before I pull the engine and start sending it off to get it overhauled.
