Brief Description:  Baffle 19 Snorkle

I first noticed the aft stiffner needs to have flush rivets from underneath to make a flat surface for the snorkle to interface to. So I drilled out the rivets and made them flush. I left the center hole open and enlarged it for a #8 screw. Plans call for #6, not sure why. I decided to use #8 all around. The three black cleos show the holes for holding up the snorkle.

Then I continued to trim in order to make the snorkle fit properly. This removed all the material on the outside and in the front.

Also note the outside baffle angles outward slightly and leaves just barely enough room for the bolts to hold the snorkle. I suppose I could have gone outboard just a little more if I wanted.
