Brief Description: Sec FF2 plenum step 3
|
|
Glassed the repositioned Left intake on the plenum, The Hi Temp exoxy that I got kicks off faster than the West system and I almost got caught a bit short. With the faster epoxy and the temps locally hi. It cured fairly fast, and I was then able to turn the plenum over and to glass the right aft corner 'extension' in place with 4 ply's. I also layed up a 4 ply 6" square on the inside of the plenum where the oil filler seal (ala Ed Hayden) will go. This is the 1st step in fabbing that piece. Spent the bulk of the remainder of the day sanding the Left intake area, There's some filling that I'll need to do to smooth the interior where the repositioned surfaces have a joggle in them, Also the Left intake it too long, it is just short of the alum intake ring, I need to trim 1" off of it and then fabricate the neopreme sleeves that are used to permanently join the intake rings to the plenum using some stainless steel expandable clamps (which I don't have in the right size). Once that's done, I've got a fair amount to do just making the exterior of the plenum cosmetically acceptable, i.e. filling voids, sanding seam lines, and filling the edges to where they are a straight line vs. the bend / bow that's in them now. That will allow me to tighten the screws in the nutplates that join the plenum to the bafles without bowing/bending the baffles. I'm also going to look for some type of a rubber gasket that I can place between the plenum top and the baffles to make a better seal.
