The paint on the brackets I worked on yesterday dried up, so I installed them to the engine, torque the 1/4" engine case bolts to 96 in-lb per instruction.
Since I need to decide the oil cooler location on the rear baffle, I need to have the #4 cylinder rear baffle trimmed for the upper cowl. After about 4 iterations, I finally can decide where to put the oil cooler (suggested to put as high up as possible for better cooling). Then I cut out the rear baffle for the oil cooler.

I clamped a straight edge on both the bracket and gear ring to align them
The aft center support bracket doesn't fit the rear baffle, I may need to cut it and rivet an angle to fit
