Brief Description: Started #3 cylinder aft and side baffles.
After installing and removing the #3 aft baffle three times, I finally trimmed it properly to fit. The hangup was getting a 1/4" screw into the support hole behind the oil filler tube. I refused to cut the safety wiring to remove the long tube. I finally used a 1/4" hex bolt instead of a screw and a crowsfoot on a 1/4" ratchet extension to install the bolt. Fat hands could not reach around the filler tube.
After fitting the baffle, I riveted the DL-03 vent tube for the cabin heat. I found out later that I should have covered the hole because the cabin heat for the IO-360M1B engine comes off the right forward inlet air ramp baffle. This was caused by following the Baffle Kit instructions and not looking at the drawing for the cabin heat install. Again, one step forward and two steps back. What's new?! I'll remove the vent tube later.
I match drilled, deburred, and riveted the #3 cylinder side baffle, and then installed it to the cylinder.
The right aft baffle fitted and installed.
Install #3 cylinder baffle and clecoed to aft baffle. Note the vent tube on the aft baffle.
