I ran into a couple “opportunities” at the hangar this evening that I’m soliciting opinions while I research for solutions.  The first issue is that the rear support brace for the baffle and one of the fuel tubes want to occupy the same space.  Since the fuel injector fuel lines were installed at Lycoming, I’m not quite sure how to proceed.  I’m concerned that if I attempt to bend the fuel line up, I may put a crease in the line.  I’m not sure if I should be concerned that with the other five cylinders are all horizontal in the same plane, if this line is elevated to get over this bracket.  Another option I thought about was to cut a slot in the bracket and isolate the fuel line with a grommet.  I haven’t referenced 43.13 yet to see what guidance it may provide.

The next issue probably falls in the category of me doing something wrong or not doing the obvious.  What’s the secret to get this baffle mounted without severely bending it?

If it were me, I'd mark the baffle where the tubing is, cut a 1/2     quarter size bite out of the bracket. Clean up the edges and     re-install the bracket.  I'm not there yet, so don't know if I'll     have the same problem.

Bob,

Your best guidance is Lyc SB 342E, page 25, a specific diagram of where 

the lines are required to be, per AD 2008-14-07 Lycoming Engines 

(formerly Textron Lycoming Division, AVCO Corporation): Amendment 39-15602.

I won't get into the debate as to whether it is a requirement for 

experimentals.

Main concern with those lines is weakening the fitting joints at either 

end and ensuring they are adequately supported so that they don't work 

harden from vibration. You can gently bend in the middle, keeping 

bending forces away from the ends as long as you keep large radius. I 

wouldn't worry about elevation. The fuel is under 4-10 psi in those 

lines, generally. I agree with Linn's advice, to first try to remove 

enough of the baffle support to allow the line to remain in the location 

Lycoming placed it.

Kelly

PS, I can email you the SB direct if you need it.

Along with the aforementioned solution is the possibility to add another adel clamp to further stabilize the tube as it bypasses the bracket.

Bob make a nice half round cut out in the bracket. I had to cut mine out for my Ignition coil.

The bracket will be fine.

Here’s the final result.  There’s about 1/8” gap between the fuel line and the bracket.  I may take a little more off, just for a safety margin.

There’s more of a gap than it looks in the picture.  With that said, I plan on opening the gap from 1/8” to ¼”.

You can take a rubber grommet of the correct I.D., cut it cross-sectional from the center out to the circumference to insert over the injector line and slide it right over the modified bracket.  That will give you correct separation and dampening.
