Folks,

I started working on my baffle kit yesterday as it will be the basis for my plenum.

The instructions call for a 1/4" 'finger spacer' on the back side of the first panel outboard of the centerline to be riveted around (below) a bolt hole for an AN4-15A bolt.

My Aerosport built (XP360 I'm fairly sure) IO360B1F6 isn't threaded there so I know a nut/washer will also e required. Also, even with a 1/4" spacer, a 15 length bolt will be way too long.

Anyone else find this? Is 1/4" thick a good size for the spacer? What length bolt did you use?

Thanks,
Ralph

Ralph,

I just finished the baffles myself and I have the Aerosport XP30 also. You
are right, you need a nut and bolt and the provided bolt is way too long. I
used a -10 but use what fits. I also installed a nutplate on the baffle
because I got tired of the the hand gymnastics required to get the nut on
and off.

My understanding is that the spacer is to move the baffle forward so it does
not rub on the rubber engine mount. I needed more that 1/4"-- just shy of
1/2".
