Manual Reference:  Baffles
Brief Description:  Install Engine Baffles 9

All baffle parts were prepared and primed. A week later I riveted them all together into 5 seperate assemblies that connect to the engine and/or each other. Finish painted a nice Ford Engine Gray color multi coat plus Engine Clear. Attached cabin heater air inlet screen with E6000 plus riveted scat tube fitting. Installed 2 spark plug wire holders on rear wall of baffles. I belt sanded one down to a narrower profile to fit next to oil cooler. Secured every attach point except the lower cylinder stainless rods. 2 of those are made and ready to put on. Have to finish making the last two. When I'm sure I don't have to remove the baffles, I will then RTV seal the gaps for a nice tight pressure chamber.
