Brief Description: Sec FF2-plenum step 5
|
|
Today's accomplishmen was the fabrication of the oil filler seal for the plenum, I laminated a 1" and 1/4" piece of foam together, and then carved/sanded ti to fit the contoure of the inside of the plenum. Warpped the foam piece w/ Saran wrap, and then placed ot on the lay-up that I had previously made of the inside contoure of the plenum, Floxed the foam in place (temporarily) by running a radius of flox around the base. Applied 3 ply layup of (6 oz). I was going to use 4 plys but the epoxy kicked off too fast. 3 will work. with the heat, I broke for lunch and came back and it was 'cured' ridgid. Removed it from the foam plug and from the contour base. trimmed/sanded the edges to final width. Cut out the hole for the oil filler tube previously layed up. and then press fit it into the 'cup'. I temporarily press fit the cup and tube over the oil filler tube, and then mounted the plenum and used some pressure on the top of the plenum to 'set' the cup to the right height and angle. Removed the plenun, marked the intersection of the cup and the tube w/marker. then gently removed cup/tube and permanentlly glassed them together, first ran a flox fillet around the base, and then wrapped the joint with 2 plys of glass 2" wide cut on the bias. I figured out how to get everything in place on the #6 baffel. located the position for the purge valve control cable fitting, then positioned the Oil cooler scat tube ring, and then positioned the sparkplug 3 wire grommet. marked everything, then removed and drilled/cut/filled/sanded to final shape.
