Dream to fly Posted April 26, 2023 Report Posted April 26, 2023 I am looking for baffle measurements for a 67-68 M20F of DXF or DWG files to run thru a water jet. I have the equipment just not the measurements without reverse copying my decrepit baffles I own right now. Quote
davesly Posted May 3, 2023 Report Posted May 3, 2023 I too am in desperate need for M20F baffles. If you do decide to make them, please let me know. Quote
Dream to fly Posted May 3, 2023 Author Report Posted May 3, 2023 It appears that the files are in the Coca Cola safe. That said I am probably going to reverse engineer them. I am still doing research as to the best material to make them out of being 2024 is what I believe to be original then there is SS with a small weight penalty and then 6061 which is easy to form with hand tools. If I end up doing this by hand no promises but if I get cad files, spitting out a spare set I will let you know. Quote
KSMooniac Posted May 3, 2023 Report Posted May 3, 2023 Consider 5052 for the baffle material instead! Easy forming, corrosion resistant, etc. I've never seen and drawings like this out in the wild, much less a CAD file. There is a 3rd party company that sells PMA baffles, and they likely reverse-engineered factory sets and got FAA approvals. There is nothing wrong with what you're trying to do, but I would prepare to do it the hard way by using your set as a pattern and starting from there. Quote
