Brief Description:  Baffle Tension Rods & Spark Plug Top Wires

Fabricated and installed the baffle tension rods.
Threading the SSP 120 stainless steel pins provided for these rods was difficult. Had to thread slowly with lots of lubricant, backing the tap off after every 1/3 - 1/2 turn of the tap. Broke the thread on the second rod, but only lost about 1/2" of length and was able to thread the end and use the rod. Found that it worked better to thread both ends of the rod first, and then make the bends. Used the vise and vice-grip pliers to make the bends.

Will need to order some PT-062 x 1/4 tubing to prevent the outer tension rods from chaffing on the engine tubing in a few places.

Installled the additional rivets required to hold the oil cooler brace in place and to attach the side baffles to the back baffles at the top corners after trimming the baffles.

Inserted the upper ignition wires through the baffles and installed the ignition wire harness seals.

Started preliminary work in preparation for installing the baffle seal material.
