If you want to get creative, fiberglass mat saturated with RTV
makes quite a flexible - in all aspects of the term - sealant. I've used it on
oddball shaped gaps, others use it successfully as baffling directly on their
Lycoming cylinders. You can put some duct tape where on the cowling inlet where
you don't want the stuff to stick and perhaps build it up stiff enough to stay
put or set up a removable frame adhering to the glass-RTV that clips/bolts
etc to the cowl.

Greetings,
I did the first test fit
of my cooling ducts, and there's hope for them. I still haven't decided
exactly what I'm going to do to seal the front of the duct to the cowl
inlet. There's only about 1/8" gap at most, and I'm thinking that it
will probably work fine without any additional seal, however, I'll probably
try to put some sort of foam strip to get some sort of a
seal.
I looked through all the
pics I have, and can't find a picture that shows the front of anyone's
duct. How are you guys sealing these to the cowls?
Pictures???
Cheers,
Rusty
