Baffle clips and tension rods

Hours Worked = 3

Today, I started by fabricating a few clips to help hold the baffles tight where there is a joint.

I also cut, threaded, and installed the baffle torsion rods. These rods hold in place the parts of the baffling that curves around to the bottom of the front and rear cylinders. This is done to get the most cooling capacity out of the air that enters the cowling. Also, the tension rods can get some sharp edges on them when they are threaded. Ask me how I know!

I also located and match drilled the bracket that holds the prop governor cable in place.
