Ladies and Gentlemen, I present Bryan's Bane, revision 4. Top view with a oil cooler bolt locker:

It's almost too easy.

I made lots more dust. I hate composites.

Got my first CHT probe placed. I had to bend to fit.

Thanks Robbie!

Today I connected my CHTs to my display to verify they survived the bending operation. All was well. Temps were elevated because I was heat-gunning them.

With the CHTs checked out, I ran out of reasons to not install and RTV up my baffles and Bryan's Bane.

Next I am going to install the cowl, wheel pants, and LG fairings. Mainly because it will look cool. Then I am pulling out the panel, bringing it to the bench, and continuing wiring.
