Does anyone know the name or part number for the tiny piece of channel that sits on top of the cylinders and bridges between them through which the baffle tie rod passes for the inter-cylinder baffles? It looks like a tiny piece of C shaped metal and one inch long? TCM C90 and every TCM engine out there I think.

yeah I’m not sure how to bend those two angles so close. It would take a tiny die.

I was overthinking this. A pair of hand seamers will do it quickly.
I will probably enjoy my brain when I learn how to use it!
