Brief Description:  Baffling #25

-Top cowl fitment to the baffle airseals
-The new inlet ramps interfer with my front baffle seals - oh brother. I did some research and saw where guys have trimmed the front baffle to accomodate the ramps
-Cut the front baffle - luckily I have the airseal only cleco'd on as I knew there would be issues somewhere.
-After some trimming and fitting and trimming and fitting, I have it pretty close.
-I then redid the right inlet airseal
-Drilled the bottom of the cowl for nutplates (the area that attaches to the fuselage near the exhaust outlet
-Bonded the nutplates on the cowl for the ones on the previous step and the 6 nutplates behind the spinner.
