A Baffling question

[Jim Herpst]

When installing an 0200 what modification might be better...modification to the orginal or modification of the Cessna150 s. One would immediately think the orginal cowling differences but asking advice from someone with experience..

That is a baffling question!

Need to extend the side baffles back if using the taylorcraft sides...front baffle needs modified seal to clear nose bowl, trim the top to clear cowling...engine moves forward 5/8"

I used the mount adapters on the one I installed so the engine sat in the same place. Used original baffling, any baffling needs fitted to seal correctly.

Where are these mount adapters obtained? I have heard these keep it back where the old Continentals series sit.

Thanks!

Baffles "belong" to the airframe, not the engine. An 0-200 fitted to an Ercoupe or a Cub or a Luscombe or a C150 will differ because of the cowling shape & airflow.

When I fitted a C-85 to my 1946 Taylorcraft, I had to tweak the baffles a wee bit.

Yes thought that but was a bit "baffled"

[Robert Lees]

Wake up Jim, that joke was a few posts ago!

[Jim Herpst]

Shees I have to get my material somewhere ....

Jim, if there were a "wink" I would use it.

there is some listed on fleebay but sold out

I have a set on my Clip Wing. Bought them from Ebay. Work great. Cub guys had problems cracking engine mounts using 0200 lord mounts. Cessna 150 mount is a full ring not four legs sticking out. The adapters make the mount rigid to the case like the 65's.

Most early cubs didn’t use 4130 in a majority of their structure, and thin wall 1025 was used the most, it was not just mounts but longerons in cubs too.

So it looks like they are sold out everywhere..damit..Am I seeing them correcrly..all metal to metal no rubber used?

[astjp2]

Conical rubbers go inside the bushings. Fresno air parts has the rubbers…but what is your authorization to used the adapters?
