To add a spacer to the aft left baffle, I had to remove a few rivets, then trace the shape to a new spacer.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I primed the spacer before installing it.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The spacer installed…
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Its a little hard to see, but the spacer creates the required room for the rivets.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I also painted the new canopy handle angles, after riveting them in place.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

With the baffles nearly done, it was time to cut the baffle seals, that will seal aginst the top cowling. First I made templates, then traced them onto the seal fabric.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They were pretty easy to cut with some good scissors.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I decided to add a few more reinforcements to the baffles, as well as the ignition cable grommets.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I primed the new reinforcements, together with the magneto covers. They were a bit corroded, so I decided to repaint them.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

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

I also primed and painted the sparkplugs and ignition cable ends.
