Any tips on getting the #5 and #6 rear baffles in place? I'm having
trouble even getting them in place for a test fit.
Should I remove the oil return lines on #5 and #6 to help?
Thanks,
-Sean #40303

I don't recall having to remove any lines, but I did have to do some funky bending
to get it in place. It is not easy, but it should fit...

I just put mine on this morning. You have to wrestle #6 to get the inner
portion past the cyl head and engine mount, then it drops right in. #5
was easy by comparison. No issue with oil lines. Aim the cutouts for the
engine mounts right at the mount, and the curved portion angled a bit
towards the rear.
You will have to watch the oil return lines when you make the rods to
tie the bottom of front and rear baffles together a bit later in the plans.

You have to hold your tongue in the right position while pushing. ;^)
Actually, you've got to twist it a bit. It's hard to describe, but once you figure
it out, you install and remove them pretty quick.

Yeah. Massage them into position. No need to remove any lines.

I can't get either to go in at all. Not sure why the plans say to
assemble these before putting them on. It seems it would be easier
before assembling the whole corner.
They aren't even close to going in and I'm scratching my rod covers on #6.

Ok, figured out #6. You need to take the oil cooler box off (un-cleco
it) from the assembly in order to allow it to flex more.
Now on to #5.
Thanks all...

Definitely put blue tape or something on to protect your rocker covers.
I probably had blue tape on mine for quite a while to protect scratching
from baffles as well as the cowl while fitting.

All of the above is true, however there was a post somewhere about a builder having
difficulty with the oil cooler brace, I think it turned out to be the wrong
part. If you're absolutely sure it won't fitthen maybe check you have the right
part.

The oil cooler brace fits fine. You just can't have it clecoed on the
baffle while you are trying to get the baffle in or the baffle doesn't
flex enough.
#5 is getting there, but my oil pressure valve (not sure what it's
really called) is in the way and the brace at the bottom of the baffle
hits the case a bit before getting into place. Going to have to mod
that a bit.

I had to mod mine for #5 to fit around the case and oil pressure valve.

Yes, I had the wrong part, a rear baffle intended for the RV-7, not the 10,
which was about 1/8" too short.
I just mounted my baffles today. Yes, removing the oil cooler brace helps.
Yes, it is a little tight with drain back tube on #5, but not hard to get
that to fit. I found a little interference at crankcase is preventing my #5
from achieving correct position, so that screw holes at back of engine and
brace line up. I think the plans should have called for assuring fit of all
hardware before drilling the two holes for rear center brace. Oh well, just
time and effort to make baffle fit the way it should.
