I'm working the cowl and thinking ahead to the plenum very soon.
It seems like there should be some sort of duct connecting the inlets to the plenum so maximum air flow goes into the plenum. However, how would the two cowls come together and seal to the duct? Maybe over thinking again.
I was thinking a horn shaped duct made of fiberglass with a seal of some sort. Since it's wider at the inlets, it wouldn't require overly complicated fastening to keep it from coming out. Easy to seal at the inlet. Assemble the cowls then insert the two ducts through the inlets. I just can't picture how to get a seal at the plenum. Maybe it just dumps with no seal? No idea.
I even considered wet suit material attached to both with a zipper seal between but that would be a real pain.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
