Hi All,
Per page 47-25 I'm installing the CB-00032N and -32O Cowl Baffle Seals on the interior lower intake lips of my bottom cowling. How much space should exist between the bottom cowling aft intake edges and the left side air intake ramp and right side air ramp? The plans don't specify. Only to trim the cowling to the scribe lines. My concern is getting the cowling on and off. Particularly back on where those seals must be positioned on top of the air ramps. It seems you'd need a decent gap to manipulate the rubber seals to get them on top of the ramps when installing the cowling. Like maybe 5/16" to 1/2".
What size gap are you guys using and are you happy with it? How tough is it to position those seals on top of the air ramps when installing the lower cowling?
Thanks for any vectors.
Cheers,
Scott Davis
