Brief Description: Removed conical gusset from right inlet.
After nearly completing the installation of the plenum, I realized the right side baffle at the right inlet was too close to the cowling. The conical gusset pulled the side baffle too much inboard and prevented the cowling lip from slipping over the baffle and gusset. The gusset had to be removed to allow the cowling to be installed. Of course, this caused the necessity to fabricate a wedge shaped shim between the baffle and plenum angle flange to allow the baffle to move a little outboard. An angle will replace the gusset. The left side inlet already has an angle to hold the left side baffle to the snorkle filter assembly.
I'll rivet an angle to replace the conical gusset tomorrow. Every time I think I'm about finished with something, I have to do it over again. Arrg!!
Conical gusset before removal.
Gusset removed to allow the right side baffle to move outboard a little.
Wedge shaped shim between the plenum flange to move the top of the baffle slightly outboard.
