Abstract
A gas turbine engine component assembly comprises a first component and a second component circumferentially spaced from the first component relative to an engine center axis. A first baffle is associated with the first component. A second baffle is associated with the second component. Each of the first and second baffles includes at least one radial baffle tab. A gap is between the first and second baffles to define a cooling air inlet. A first coverplate is associated with the first baffle to cover a first portion of the gap. A second coverplate is associated with the second baffle to cover a second portion of the gap. The first and second coverplates are separate from each other, and include at least one coverplate radial tab that cooperates with an associated at least one baffle radial tab to prevent leakage gaps between the first and second baffle plates and the first and second coverplates.
