Continue fitting baffles. Trim for cowling fit.
Trim leading edge of ramps for better clearance.
Fab lower cowling clamp strips and airseal strips. Drill to #27 for #6 screws.
Got out the filtered airbox and started on it. Filed the carb mount plate to clear the accelerator pump fittings. I don't think I'll install the 2nd emergency bypass. The 1st bypass should be sufficient. I may change my mind. Flying any time icing is a possibility is not in the cards for me. Induction icing is the least of the worries. Airframe icing is a serious threat on these airplanes, with the possibility of losing elevator and rudder control with just a small buildup. I intend to be IFR capable, but if icing is even a remote possibility, I'll go with another plan.
