Sorry Ed, the last time I looked at your
ducts there was a big donut in the opening..:0). Is there a turbulence
causing lip with the duct, foam separator and the cowl? Does the duct fit
around the outside of cowl inlet?

duct
Tommy, I basically bring my ducts out to the inlet opening
and use a bit of 1/8" thick foam weather-strip insulation to prevent
contact between duct and inlet part of cowling. There is very little
vibration to content with unlike a Lycoming which would play havoc with such a
set up.

Hi Guys.
I need understanding on how to mate the
radiator ducts with the cowl opening. I can see how to mount the rads to
motor mount and redrive back plate. Follow on in the footsteps of master
glass scuptors like Tracy. Ed and RD with foam, electrical tape and poprivets.
But I can’t ‘see’ the
junction of duct and cowl.. Thanks for any ideas. The duct tape is
a little cheezie..:-)
