Mini Version 3 Engine Baffle Ignition Wire Seal - Two Wire
Lycoming, Continental, and others
A part to pass spark plugs wires through the engine cooling air baffle. This part is smaller than the Slick version. Uses #8 washer head screws (included). Max temperature = 300 Fahrenheit. Maximum center hole size = 1.0-inch. The drill jig includes hole guides at the center, and the center of each hole to help fabrication, if a slot is desired.
A drill jig is recommended for drilling the holes to mount the seal because the holes have a line fit. Using the seal as a drill jig may oversize the holes and reduce the tight clearance fit. A free drill jig will be included with the purchase of two assemblies in order to complete the installation for the engine. I didn't have much luck drilling the center hole with the large step drill as it would not hold center position, perhaps you can do better. Recommend a circle drill or a hole punch. The center hole in the photo = .725-inch diameter.
Note: These are priced and sold per assembly. Each assembly contains 2 pieces. The item will ship exactly as pictured.
