Oil Cooler Cross Brace
I didn’t have much time in the shop last night, but I did
pick up some aluminum from the Aircraft Isle at Home Depot to make a cross
brace on the oil cooler. This will help
reduce impact of vibration and hopefully eliminate any cracking of the baffles
over time. Again I am not worried about the
extra weight with this type of reinforcement since I have the composite prop
which has saved several pounds by itself.
With this aside from priming and painting, also some changing out bolts/washers for
more appropriate support I am pretty much wrapped up with the oil cooler. Very clean install and I am glad that I can
pretty much call this done.
