I popped the plenum out of the mold and roughly trimmed it to the baffles. \u00a0The fit is pretty good, but there will definitely have to be some tweaks.<\/p>\n

These corners were touching the underside of the top cowl. \u00a0I’ll want a good 3\/8″ of clearance between the top of the plenum and the button of the top cowl to allow for engine movement. \u00a0I trimmed the forward aluminum baffles in order to lower this part of the plenum almost 1\/2″. \u00a0Unfortunately, this lowers the inboard edge of the ramps a little too much. \u00a0I’ll have to cut and reglass the side of the ramp to raise the forward edge slightly. \u00a0I’m really glad I only laid up two layers of glass so far as it makes it really easy to bend and cut. \u00a0I’ll probably end up laying up the additional layers right on the engine so that the plenum fit perfectly.<\/p>\n
