Armpit System was Re: REFLECTOR: NACA scoops

[Scott Derrick]

I have a pair of used armpits I cut off my cowl.  I wasn't really 
careful when cutting but they could be used. They have the aluminum 
deflector attached
And all the factory baffling for an updraft IO360 with all new silicon I 
recently removed.  Its used, 475 hours, but serviceable, and fits well. 
I had no cooling problems on that engein once I tightened up the baffling.

I hate to throw it out, but its cluttering up my corner of a multi plane 
hanger.  Its free to anybody who will pay the freight.
