Brief Description:  Oil cooler installation

I had taken off the Bing and the fuel pump last night. The Bing does have a ground wire which is just a slip-on clip - no need to unscrew the wire from the Bing. Reworked the hanger bracket for the oil cooler. This is the Aeroclassics cooler and the Sonex Jab 3300 installation book isn't updated for this cooler yet. The bracket is a little too wide to clear the hose fitting, so I trimmed off 3/16" on one side. Then I found that the bracket as configured puts the oil cooler too far forwards. Turning it around moves the cooler back to be just right. But then the other side needs 3/16" removed to clear the fitting. Also deburred the fuel pump block off plate and put the straight fittings into the oil filter spacer and installed the spacer under the oil filter. Needed to go to the store to get locktite, the 5/16-18 x 3/4" screws for the fuel pump block off plate. Realized I need hi-temp RTV for this as well. Put the aerocarb and filter in place temporarily to see how they fit with the oil cooler. The throttle rod extending up out of the aerocarb gets close to the ignition leads on the left side, but I think with the Sonex installation, the rod (at least the linkage part on the rod) is not used.
