This has spider cracked the gel coat on numerous cowls (over the years). Perhaps ¾” would have been adequate. However, around the top of number 1 & 2 cylinders I did not have that much clearance. ). I built my baffles twice before shifting to a cooling plenum (duct) out of frustration with that contact damage. In addition to better cooling ( big factor!) , the plenum allowed rounded edges, smoother contact surfaces, and overall less maintenance.
