Brief Description: Installed foam on engine air inlet baffle
Attached my extended air scoop with small 3mm bolts (instead of rivets so it is removable). Measured the distance from the cowl by temporarily installing the cowl and placing the foam on the scoop so it was compressed slightly against the cowl. Marked where the foam ended as best I could on the scoop (It was a tight fit and I could only mark in a few places), then removed the cowl and primed the scoop up to the marks, removed the paper backing and attached the supplied foam. Unfortunately when I attached the cowl, there was a gap between the foam and the cowl because I had to guess on he location around most of the right side and bottom of the scoop (it was too tight to mark). I found some scrap foam, measured the gap around between the foam and the cowl, cut the scrap foam the measured dimension (plus 1/8” or so). I removed the cowl, used silicon rubber to glue the foam I just cut to the edge of the existing form (glued edge to edge, foam is 1/4” thick). Re-attached cowl and now it fit perfectly. Applied a thin layer of silicon rubber to all exposed surfaces of the foam to give it strenght, keep it from absorbing water so it will have a rubber gasket like seal when it is pressed against the cowling providing an air tight fit. Used a piece of aluminum tape and put tape on the foam where it was closest to the exhaust pipe to reflect the heat from the exhaust pipe and prevent it from melting the foam
