Product Details
Airforms Engine Baffles with Cowl Saver™
Keep your engine cool and protect your cowling!
McFarlane’s Cowl Saver™ Baffle Seal Material is now available preinstalled on Airforms baffle kits. Cowl Saver™ reduces airframe vibration and eliminates cowl cracks and firewall cracks. Typical silicone rubber baffle seals have a coefficient of friction among the highest of any known material. This friction transfers engine vibration into your cowl and firewall causing fastener fretting, fatigue, cracking, chaffing, and airframe vibration. Cowl Saver™ is specifically designed to produce low friction, which can save you money! Plus, you can actually feel the difference in vibration
Cowl Saver™ Baffle Seal Material has 30x less friction!
Low friction baffling saves you money!
- Reduces transfer of vibration to the engine cowl and airframe
- Eliminates cowl erosion
- Extends baffle seal life
- Reduces expensive cowl and cowl fastener repairs
- Reduces fatigue and cracking in baffles, cowl skins and firewall
- Cowling even goes on easier!
Airforms engine baffles are FAA-PMA approved for Cessna, Piper, Beech, Mooney, and Grumman
