I tried another approach to the prop governor cable. drilling a hole in the end of the bracket and securing the cable t the bracket using an Adel clamp. The seemed to work nicely and I reinstalled the govenor to the engine. After routing the cable through the firewall it was obvious that the cable had to severe a curve and was binding. I removed the governor and cable and moved on to other things.
I did make some progress withthe baffle. After wroking to fit the baffles around #4 cylinder I determined that the motor mount would not allow an angled mount for the oil cooler, so I preceeded to mount the cooler bracket as high as possible on the rear baffle but still be low enough for the plenum. So far, s good, but this has really gone slowly.
