I have an IO-360 (200hp) with Horiz Induction and snorkel, Vans cowl and baffle kit. The front baffle floors (inlet ramps) do not match well with the cowl inlets, which have not been trimmed at all yet. The cowl is fully fitted to the fuse. I'm not clear on the solution to this - the right inlet could be bent diagonally to more closely match the inlet, but this is not possible on the left side due to the air filter needing a flat surface to seal against. Does the rubber gasket fill the gap? I'm having trouble visualizing how this will work. I have match drilled the brackets setting the height of the floors on both the inboard and outboard sides, but I could reset them or get new pieces. After starting on my baffles, I was a little dismayed to learn that Vans does not make a baffle kit for the IO-360 - only the O-360, so there are a lot of discrepancies in the instructions, and they are extremely confusing with several part numbers in the instructions not matching the drawings. Vans support says I'm basically on my own...
