Moved cabin heat to the front

I spent the evening undoing the work from yesterday and redoing it at the front of the baffles. I made a patch for the hole in the back of the baffles. It’s not a structural area, so the patch will be fine. I really don’t want to redo the baffles at this point. Riveting in there would have been nearly impossible, so I used (gasp) blind rivets. I used some of the sealed rivets that I had left over from the fuel tank. I also put some RTV under the patch to help seal it.

I cut a new hole in the right baffle floor and clecoed the flange in place with some RTV. I’ll let that set up before I rivet.

I moved the cabin heat muff back to the #1 exhaust pipe again. It’s going to be a tight fit to get all of the hose routed through there.
