OK, I goofed up the first attempt at the left front ramp, and trimmed it too short (as in, not enough material left to fit the filter for the snorkel).
So, new part in hand, and I'm not sure of the order to do this...also, there are some pieces that I can't figure out how they fit.
So my question is...does anyone have some good photos/description of the construction sequence here? I can't figure out things like...should I put a bend in the ramp first? Or not? If not, then how do I trim the snorkel correctly so that when the ramp *is* finally fitted to the cowling, the snorkel fits the ramp (since presumably, said ramp will then have to bend upward).
Also, there are some W-shaped channels that are suppsed to fit underneat the ramp, where it's pre-punched...but the W channel has flanges that are too wide to fit in that area...I guess you trim the channel to fit?
The whole thing is poorly documented and the so-called engineering drawings are inadequate to say the least...
Help!
TIA!
