Brief Description:  Snorkle & Ramp

With my measurements completed the night before I went about setting up the left inlet baffle ramp in the mill to cut out the filter opening. Cutting the panel involves using my strong double sided tape to hold the panel while machining the opening.....it works well since sheet metal parts cannot be held in a vise.

After getting the panel in place I made a quick program and cut the opening. After deburring the panel I test fit the filter and parts. I had to modify the brackets and then located them and matchdrilled them to the ramp. There still needs to be some tweaking of the flanges for the brackets as well as some possible snorkle - filter fitting as it seems that the filter fits in the snorkle too snugly.

We will look at that in the next session......for now progress is being made steadily.
