Brief Description: Finished attaching the snorkle flanges.
The snorkle was finally finished after deciding that the forward flange had to be connected with screws to nutplates the same as the the inboard, outboard, and aft flanges. The plans did not call out the forward flange connected, but I thought it would add much more strength to the whole contraption. This was possible because I used 0.040 aluminum sheet to make the forward and outboard flanges, as opposed to the 0.025 aluminmun flanges that came with the kit.
Next comes the filter bypass door that must the attached to the outboard side of the snorkle. Whoopee!!
Flanges screwed to the inlet ramp to check for fittness.
Snorkle turned upside down to show nutplates on bottom of the snorkle flanges.
Circle shows where the filter bypass door will be mounted.
