Brief Description:  Oil cooler installation

Added the fittings to the oil filter spacer. Found some hi-temp sealant with teflon at the auto parts store and used that on the fittings. Aligned the spacer to give good clearance to the hose end fittings (the aft one gets close to one of the lugs on the sump). Made up the supply and return hoses. Used a dremel cutoff wheel to cut it, put a worm clamp on the end over the tape, and put each hose in the freezer for a few minutes. Someone had pointed out that this way, when it comes out of the freezer the red hose nut is easier to put on. I didn't find it to be that big of a challenge. I forgot to measure the length on the shorter hose, but the longer one I made 25 3/8". This gives too much length at the back end near the carb, so I'll probably take about an inch off of it. Also need to make up a bracket or two to locate the longer hose and get some 9/16" clamps for it. The 1/2" clamp recommended is too small.
