The extra 45-degree section of exhaust arrived today together with a 6' length of 2" scat tubing (this stuff is so expensive!). This allowed me to finalise the exhaust, seal all the joints with exhaust putty and clamp everything up with heavy duty clamps. Then the scat tubing was cut to provide links between; the carb air box and the air muff, the air muff and the cabin heat valve on the firewall, and the air muff and a flange which will be riveted to the baffles to get a source of fresh air. This pretty much completes the engine install apart from the baffles. The other little jobs are just to route the engine breather, plumb the vacuum pump, and connect the fuel pump pressure relief overflow.No pictures, but I have also been working on tidying up the joint between the lower and upper parts of the cowl. As delivered the step overlap is not deep enough to get a smooth transition so additional fibreglass has been bonded onto the lower cowl to build it up. Next job will be to blend everything together with copious amounts of filler.
