The engine driven fuel pump came with a couple of straight fittings already in place, but they don't match up with what I need. I swapped out the exit fitting for a T fitting that allows the fuel pressure line to come off of it as well. The smaller fitting that goes into the T for the fuel pressure line has a restrictor in it - my understanding is it not only helps even out the pressure readings, but it also serves to limit fuel loss if for some reason the line comes off.
I'm waiting on a number of electrical items to arrive, so I decided to jump over to the baffles to see how all of that goes together. I wasn't really planning on working on them, but got sucked in. The baffles are cut to the outline of a Lycoming 320. While the Titan has a slightly different shape in a few areas, the bulk of the baffles fit very well. The oil cooler hangs off of the baffle behind the #4 cylinder, and a common issue is for the baffle to crack over time due to the weight of the cooler and the vibration of the engine. There are a number of solutions I've tracked down, the most common being adding a 1" aluminum angle to the junction of the rear and side baffle (which the oil cooler bolts to) as well as a piece of rod that ties the other side of the cooler to the case or the cylinder. It's hard to describe, but it'll make sense once it's laid out. I don't have any 1" angle, so as is the norm, now I hurry up and wait for it to arrive.
These baffle sections fit quite well (minus the rear baffle on the right - the shape of the Titan was significantly different, so I had to do about 100 trips back and forth to the sander to get it right). Where I'll really have to make some changes is on the baffles that wrap around the inner portion of the cylinders. A typical Lycoming has cylinders that are a consistent size, but the Titan has cylinder fins that taper.
