- | | Alternate way of making the baffle with 26 gauge sheet metal cut 2" wider than the cover length and trimmed for a tight fit. ((photos by 60Gunner of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?p=5763918#post5763918)) ||| | + | Alternate way of making the baffle: ((60Gunner of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?p=5763918#post5763918)) \\ |
+ | The wings were initially 1" inward each before bending. \\ | ||
+ | While fitting, they were cut back to 1/2" each and the side with the fitting was cut again at about a 1/4" for clearance of the fitting. \\ | ||
+ | This baffle started out with as piece 5"x2" cut sheet metal, bent an inch on each end for the wings. \\ | ||
+ | 5/8" of the bottom of the flaps were cut off. \\ | ||
+ | The cover tapers roughly 45° in and down at that point from there down to bottom. \\ | ||
+ | A Dremel rotary tool was used to round all edges and the corners slightly. \\ | ||
+ | It was tight to the bottom then another 1/8" was cut because it was just flush with the gasket surface (dropped it slightly). \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | The baffle should be pretty snug when installed. You should have to lift a little on one side then the other back and forth to remove it. \\ | ||
+ | The sheet metal was bent with my a small hand brake then the flaps were trimmed to fit. \\ | ||
