Posted: Sun Jun 22, 2014 2:47 am Post subject: Baffling Question

I am trying to fit the CB-1001A Front Baffle (Ref. Page FF2-14) which as shown on the plans, should fit snugly over and around the MT P-420-3 propeller governor.



Vans sent me the MT P-860-3 propeller governor with my Firewall Forward kit, which is now installed on my engine.  This governor has a lip around the front which prevents the CB-1001A Front Baffle from slipping over the governor.



I am tempted to cut the hole in the CB-1001A Front Baffle much larger, however this will then mean that I will need to seal around the opening in the CB-1001A, as once the baffle is over the front of the governor, the body of the governor reduces in diameter, leaving about a 1/4" gap around the governor to the edge of the hole in the CB-1001A.



Have I buggered up my interpretations of the plan, or does the new propeller governor just not fit the CB-1001A baffle as was originally intended?



If so, what are people using to seal the gap between the propeller governor and the CB-1001A.



After mucking around with these baffles, I can now see why people install plenums in lieu of baffles!



I'd appreciate your assistance and any links or photos that could assist me please.



Warm regards and thanks in anticipation.

That part is always hard to fit. You can trim it as necessary and then seal it (RTV works well). You could also use baffle seal to fill the gap.

I think you've got it right!

If you are on the fence, there is one more alternative that may be 

better than Sam James: Showplanes RV-10 cowling....

Thanks Kelly.  Always good to have a       couple of approaches.  I already have the Van's cowl fitted and       just can't justify pitching it.  I'm enjoying the 'journey' and       doing some mods to improve (I hope) the Van's approach.  

       I didn't like Van's alt air ...... I know, you can reset it after       shutdown .... so I did this:

       

       [img]cid:part1.08020702.04030205(at)cfl.rr.com[/img]

       

       Because I can ......

       I'd probably be flying by now if it wasn't for all the mods   

       Linn

I put a small piece of piano hinge on the back face of that baffle piece. That allowed me to have a nice tight fitting around the governor and be able to open the hole around the governor via the hinge to get it in and out easier.

Patrick.

Send email to jackm(at)vinetechequipment.com . I will reply with pictures of what we did. Prop cable is also routed above engine and left heat input is on rear right baffle. Prop cable above allows for better seal because you don't need to cut ramp for prop lever clearance
