Aerovee cylinder baffles

Postby ProfJ » Wed Dec 26, 2018 8:53 pm

Hey Folks,

Does anyone know where I can purchase a set of the black steel cylinder baffles seen in this photo? Can't find them on the Aeroconversions site...

Thanks,
Jon

Those are mounted up side down, they go on the bottom of the cylinders.

Super tins...yep, on the bottom just above the push rod tubes! Snap right on.

If you were setting up for updraft cooling rather than downdraft (in a pusher setup) would you switch the tins top to bottom, or keep them on the original sides? (assuming you had the original top tins also.) Seems to me that their shape will be optimized for airflow direction?

Yeah i guess if you have updraft, you'd want something on the top. But I don't know if they'll fit, the cylinders are symmetric, but the heads aren't symmetric top vs bottom.
