Airforms has added the Cessna 182T to its growing list of aircraft models eligible for new sets of engine baffles.
The company, based in Wasilla, Alaska, has already shipped more than 5,000 baffle kits all over the globe, for more than 60 models of aircraft. Baffles, with good seals, are essential for proper engine cooling, company officials note.
Kits are available with bare metal or powder coated metal parts made of 6061-T6 aluminum. Seals for the kits are made of high-temp silicone with a thin fiberglass “sandwich” in the middle, company officials explain. Airform’s design includes stainless steel doublers and reinforcements at critical attachment points to increase the longevity and reduce cracking at known problem areas, officials add.
The standard color for the seals is black, but they can be ordered in orange or blue for a slight premium.
In addition to engine baffles for Cessna, Piper, Beech, Grumman and Mooney aircraft, Airforms manufactures a variety of FAA-PMA parts, including titanium and steel axles, nose gear bolts, heat shields, oil cooler baffles, crew ladders, and replacement steps.
