Baffle vs Cowl

Post by 4-Shipp »

I installed a new set of Airforms baffles withthe orange baffle seal. I can't get the cowl to fit now. Is there a trick I do not know?

Do I need to trim the seals?

Do the seals fold up or down?

Miles?????? Mine look just like yours. What is yor secret?

Thanks, Miles. I was trying to get this to fit late at night and decided to quit before I broke something! Out of town for a few days and now off on a trip so will try to get it tweaked when I get back Friday. More to follow. BTW, the baffle kit fit great and was worth the money vs having my old stuff repaired!
