The baffles on my RV8 had a few cracks and rips, though my engine temps were just fine. Because I'm OCD and a habitual tinkerer I've decided to replace them while the plane is down for it's condition inspection.
I pulled off the black cloth reinforced baffles, and bought a bunch of the red silicon stuff from Spruce. Looks fairly straightforward, but I'd love to hear any tips or see pictures to help me out. Never done this before.
Using aluminum baffle rivets, those little baffle screws/nuts, and a leather punch. Plan on lining everything up with the existing holes.
RV8 with IO360 parallel if that matters.
TIA
