Should it be cut off even with the cowl joint so that the fabric will seal that gap? What about the cowl joint screws rubbing/chaffing against the aluminum or fabric (depending which method used)? The part supplied in the generic baffle kit extends forward of the aft end of the cowl air inlet. Should the airseal fabric seal the whole area around this area with no leaks? It seems this is a hard area to seal with the fiberglass air inlets being bonded to the cowl meeting at this area also. Surely someone has been there. Thanks. Dave Ford RV6
