Uncrated the prop.

Match drilled and clecoed the spinner plate doubler to the spinner plate.  Marked and cut out the center of the spinner plate with a skill saw. I cleaned it up with files, and a bit of emory cloth. I scuffed and primed the plate and the doubler then riveted them together. I attached the spinner plate assembly to the back of prop and re-torqued the bolts. The prop is now ready to be mounted to the engine.

Installed the heater muffs and associated SCAT hoses.

Fabricated and installed the sniffle tube.

Installed the fuel injection servo and exhaust system

Installed the fuel injection servo. A gasket, four nuts, and two fuel lines. pretty straightforward.

 

Installed the exhaust system. Slightly less straightforward than the fuel servo but not too bad.
