Brief Description:  Baffling #2 (baffled and going snorkleing)

Attached, with fasteners the aft plates of the baffling. Had to relieve the ears around the bolt holes on the #15 support that ties the aft plates to the engine access case.
I then went to work on the forward ramps. Problem - you need to trim these to allow the lower cowl to go on and off and the left one can't be trimmed until you fit the snorkle, which is something I've been dreading. Anyway, I'm now working on snorkle fitment and although I don't have the Skytec starter (I have a B/C), it looks like the mods on the snorkle are doable. The big thing is the snorkle is about an inch too short from reaching the bottom of the left ramp. I'll likely have to releave the snorkle around the starter and alt bracket and cut in half and 'stretch' it to the proper length and alignment (its not in the same plane as the ramp either when flush with the fuel injection servor).
Fun stuff - moving forward.
