In order to trim the baffles to fit the upper cowl, I made 4 extensions rods.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

With the extra room, I was able to mark some of the baffles for trimming.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The side baffles were harder to reach. I used paper clips, pressed down by the top cowl to trace the cowling shape.
\nIt took a few cuts before it was great.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This was the second trim marked on the forward baffle bulkhead.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Forward baffle bulkhead finsihed!
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

With the baffles almost done, I desided to dig out the alternate induction air door.
\nThis door will be operated with a cable from the cockpit, and alow the engine to keep running in case the filter gets blocked.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I marked a good position on the intake duct…
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

…and cut the opening.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The inlet flange had a tap, that needed to get bend to make a notch and stop for the door, like this:
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next I matchdrilled the door to the intake duct.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally I dimpled the rivet holes and countersunk the duct. Next step is to bond the flange to the duct.
