BAFFLE-KIT-1BF Bi-Flex Baffle Seal Repair Kit

Please confirm the BAFFLE-KIT-1BF Baffle Seal Repair Kit’s compatibility with your aircraft using these documents:

• Cowl saver baffle seal material information sheet from McFarlane Aviation (PDF)
• Firewall forward section of McFarlane Aviation catalog (PDF)

Best for small aircraft with straight baffle seals. Includes Bi-Flex material with a precision laser engraved flex pattern. To ensure that 9 ft will be enough material, measure your existing baffle seals. If in doubt order BAFFLE-KIT-2, which is best for larger aircraft or curved baffle seals that cannot be cut from 3 inch strips.

Cowl Saver Baffle Seal Material
Reduces airframe vibration and stops cowl and firewall cracks

Baffle seal friction causes airframe vibration and destroys cowls
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 Baffle Seal Material has 30 times less friction!

• One side is silicone and the other is the revolutionary friction free surface unique to the patented Cowl Saver.
• Dramatically reduces the friction between your cowl and baffle seals.

Low friction saves you money!

• Reduces transfer of damaging engine vibration to the cowl and airframe
• Minimizes cowl chaffing and erosion from baffle seals
• Thicker low friction layer for longer life
• Reduces expensive cowl and fastener repairs
• Reduces fatigue and cracking in aluminum baffles and cowl skins
• Cowling even goes on easier!

Unbeatable performance

• Advanced laminated construction has less friction and seals better
• Fiberglass reinforced
• Meets industry standard AMS3320G
• Use scoring tool P/N TOOL120 for Customized flexibility for optimal cooling

Bi-Flex Technology
Bi-Flex Technology utilizes a laser engraved waffle pattern to provide the ideal flexible seal for maximum cooling, while retaining rigidity on the lower half of the seal to prevent the baffle seal from blowing past the proper seal position against the cowl.
