Brief Description:  Riveted last side angles to plenum.

I riveted the last two side angles that connect to the side baffles at the front of the duct. I installed the plenum onto the engine and determined that I needed to raise the right duct up about 1/8" so that it would not contact the upper cowling inlet lip during engine start/shutdown. I accomplished this by filing the holes on the baffles into elongated slots at the duct angle that allowed me to raise the right plenum duct slightly. The angles have the nutplates riveted on and it is just a matter of loosening the screws and moving the duct up in the slotted baffle holes.

Tommorrow I'll fabricate the two short angles for the foward baffles that will hold the inboard edges of the ducts at the correct position.
