| Still waiting on the arrival of some Smooth Prime so I can finish the inside of the Cabin cover. I thought I had some left over, but |

|
| control cables with Adel clamps, i needed to add several to make sure that I didn't have any interferance with hoses or other |
|
| cables and the engine mount itself. i think i've got everything pretty well locked down. Boy the space aft of the engine is getting |
|
| REALLY crowded. I then tackled the heat muffs. mounting them to the exhaust was pretty straight forward. Ed Hayden had done |
|
| most of the leg work on this so I pretty much copied his implementation. After straightening the rivet tab w/a hand seemer. I |

| riveted the muffs together using some pop rivets. Secured them top and bottom with some stainless steel expandable clamps. |
|
| and then began to figure out how to run the scat tubes. I've got the left (pilot) side connected to the firewall heatercontrol and to |
|
| the heat muff. I had previously ordered some DG 32's from spruce on Ed's recommendation to secure the Left side to the |
|
| bottom of the engine mount. I'll finish up the right side in the am waiting for UPS delivery. I also attached the overflow hose to the |
