Brief Description:  Baffle Seals 2

Added the baffle seal to the right side baffle. Since this was a simpler baffle shape than the left one, I was able to fit the baffle seal on in 1 piece.

I also started work on an attachment approach. Zenith provided barrel screws (or post & screws) which have a broad screw head on the post (male) piece and the barrel (female) piece and looks like a double headed screw when installed. Unfortunately, when practicing on test materials, I discovered the barrel screws Zenith provided were slightly too long after tightening them. This resulted in the baffle seal not being snugly fastened to the baffle. I figured out if I made small "washers" from the baffle seal material and placed them on the male side of the barrel screw, they held much more securely AND are removable after wear and tear.(vice riveting them). So my next step will be fabicating small rubber washers and updrilling the baffle seal holes to 3/16".
