It was some significant modifications to the cowling too. I now have plates designed for my oil coolers to restrict the cold air and allow the oil to reach temperature. I never did find any baffles for the rear engines even though they are listed in the parts catalog.

Hey John, I have a set of front cowl baffles for sale 😃
I took a look at the IPC's this morning and Cessna completely redesigned the winterization baffles from your aircraft to mine.

Here's the early baffles: https://imgur.com/hdyUdEq

Here's the later baffles: https://imgur.com/VWWIJgR

Here's the rear that Don has for me: https://imgur.com/m3U7NPq

I think that rear will make a *substantial* difference in my operating temps. I'll be very curious to try it out.

I wonder if perhaps you have the later model ones and that's why they didn't work/didn't fit your cowl?
