Today, I got most of the oil door finished. It takes a lot of fiddling to get the hinges and latches to work smoothly, while keeping everything tight and also not binding up.
The rest of the day was spent cutting out the baffle gasket material. The process was to make up a template in cardboard, then transfer the template to the baffle material and cut it out. You do need to plan ahead for how the material will lay over when compressed by the top cowl, especially in the corners and around the curves. You want the material to sit flat against the cowl top and not leave any gaps or have any wrinkles. And air that escapes around this baffle is wasted cooling air, and is just drag.
