I've got a carbon plenum that is designed for the stock intakes (not SJ round ones) of the Van's cowl for my RV-7. Wonder how folks are handling the intake seals. I could use traditional strips of silicon fabric, like for traditional baffle seals. Curious if neoprene could be used with the odd shape of the stock intakes.
Also, to seal the other edges of the plenum, I plan to create an Ultra Black RTV seal. I would like to have the plenum removeable for service. Can I just use packing tape as a release for one side, like when laying down fiberglass? Make the RTV adhere to the plenum, or adhere to the associated baffling?
Thank you!
