[quote]Since the cowl is all fitted, the only thing left to do is trim the cowl inlets to the 2" depth Vans specifies in the plans...now for the question. Does the entire inlet get trimmed two inches from the front edge? The plans seem vague and lean towards only the outer edge...which doesn't make sense.And while I have everyone's undivided attention...I assume it is from the face of the inlet they are telling us to measure back two inches?

I would wait with the trimming until you have your baffling in place. Then trim to 2” or even less to make for a smooth transition with your baffle ramp. It is not a hard dimension so keep trimming until you like the result and can get your baffle material to lay flat.

Thamks Gary,
Does that 2" remain pretty constant all the way arounfd the inside. It looks like the area by the spinner needs to be deeper than 2".

It's definitely not consistent. I don't remember exactly how I
started, but Gary's right...you want to get the baffling where you
think it should be and then basically do the cutout to blend
with the baffling and provide good laydown for the rubber seals.
It really isn't too bad of a project once you get going.
