Brief Description:  Showplanes Oil Cooler Mount

Titan engine recommends using the larger 20006 oil cooler from Vans. Unfortunately this requires mounting the oil cooler on the firewall and directing air to it through a 4 inch duct. I cant find a spot on the firewall to mount the oil cooler that I like. I was looking for a solution on the internet when I ran across the Showplanes website. They have a mount that attaches to the engine mount for the RV-8 that looks pretty good, Unfortunately its designed for an angle valve engine, mine is a parallel valve. The baffling is different I talked to Bryan at Showplanes and we discussed several options and with some modifications he felt it would work. I received it today and test mounted it on the engine. It definitly looks like it should work out with a little modification to the fiberglass duct. Certainly way better than running a 4 inch duct!.
I really like the construction, very simple. It mounts very solidly.
