Tim,
I sent pics of my baffle installation to your Gmail. I recommend you do not use the Sonex supplied rubber baffle material as shown in my pics. I changed mine after a few initial flights in order to help get the cylinder temps under control. It is difficult to fit and does not seal very well. Use regular aviation baffling material, the thinner material works better than the thicker stiffer stuff and does a much better job of making the cooling air flow through the cylinders rather than over the top of the baffles.
