 |
|
Listers,
Has anybody out there ever sucessfully mounted an oil cooler on the firewall of an 8? If so do you have pictures? I saw one on a 6 today. Not sure if there is room on our firewalls but if so I would sure like to do it that way rather than on the back baffle.

Dennis,
I mounted mine on the right side of the firewall and have had no problems to date. I initially used the positech but quickley found that it did not work. I got the harrison/stewart warner 10599 and all has been well. I live near Atlanta and have flown my -8 out to Phoenix and back in July with no problems.
You will have to make a plenum for the top of the cooler. I tig welded an aluminum one for myself, but you could make a fiberglass one. I used a three inch scat hose from the back of the baffling to the plenum. I used 3/4" aluminum angle to mount the cooler at the top and bottom and used long #10 bolts with compression tubes between the top and bottom flanges of the cooler.
Contact me off-list and I'll send you a picture if I can find it or draw you a sketch.
