Brief Description:  Inlet ramps 2 and fwd baffles-2

After removing bottom cowl another 5 times and the inlet ramps just as many, I think I about have it.
The fwd edge is about 1/32 from aft edge of cowl inlet and also about 1/16 under the edge to allow room for the baffle seal fabric.

Moved on the finishing the fit of the fwd baffles and I figured they needed to come to the edge of cowl inlet too. But now im not sos sure since there doesnt seem to be any room for baffle fabric. The problem with moving it out board some is that leaves a gap between the ramp outboard edge and the bottom edge of fwd baffle. To make matters more problematic is that the right side is a bit worse. I have a plan that might help this some and will be covered with the reinforcement brace but Im also hoping that I didnt cut too much off the front. I could fix that too but I dont wont this looking like a hatchet job either.

Stopped here for today because I left the instructuions at home. Ill shift to fixing the parking brake
