Brief Description:  Oil Cooler Relocation

Had to relocate the cut out in the aft left baffle for the oil cooler downward about 1 inch so that I can trim the top edge of the baffle for fitting the top cowl.

Marked where to relocate the cut out, used shears to cut the baffle at the bottom to move the oil cooler down. Created a spacer the same shape as the top of the hole for the oil cooler, and replaced the spacer that goes between the aft and cyl 4 baffle with a new one that acts as a doubler place for the spacer.

I placed the new hole by way of the spacer as high as possible in order to enhance cooling performance. This meant I sort of customized how the oil cooler baffle brace is riveted to the aft and cyl 4 baffles.
