After trimming all of the baffles down an additional 1/8″, I laid out, drilled and riveted the #4 side baffle to the aft wall. I dimpled the other flanges (the one with the clecos) so that the inside face will have flush rivets. I’ll back rivet these, but it’s too late to run the rivet gun tonight.
I also riveted the #3 side baffle to the aft wall on the right side. I also trimmed the bottom outside corner to clear the manifold pressure fitting.
Last night, I laid up some additional glass over the oil cooler plenum using the high-temperature epoxy. You can see here that I wrapped the epoxy down the side of the oil cooler. I also extended the circular flange forward another 1/2″ or so to make it easier to mount the butterfly valve.
