Oil cooler
Catégorie: Engine : Firewall forward

next is to install the oil cooler on the rear left baffle. These as the parts to assemble : the baffle, a doubler and a bracket.



And this is the result after some cutting, filing, deburring and dimpling. The bracket is not visible being on the other side of the baffle.
I also installed the ignition wire grommet.



The cooler will be bolted with very long bolts so spacer have to be fabricated tobe inserted between the cooler's flanges. I cut the spacer a bit shorter than the dimension given in the plans. This will allow some washers to be put between the spacer and the flange and spread the load.



Then I prime the contact surfaces and begin riveting all the parts. I had some problems with a few rivets so this task took a bit longer than expected.



This is the air pick-up for the cabin heat on the aft right baffle (there will be a second pick-up on the left forward baffle I think).
