Brief Description: FW - Oil Cooler remote mount
|
|
Although it was roughly conceived as a remote FW mount of the large oil cooler, it was not a good execution of the plan. Had to trash the 1st angle brackets and remake with adjustments in the position of the cooler on the mount, and spacers for the angles to align correctly.
Had to fabricate rigid AL tubes, fabricating one side, then using it to fabricate the mirror image for the opposing side. Lots of time consuming drilling, disassembly, deburring, assembling, match drilling, and repeating to get alignment since there is no 'CAD drawing for the layout.
Planning to install an air flow shutter between the FW mount and the cooler, with a cabin control lever to adjust air flow. However, should be seasonal and ground set for most operating conditions. Anyway the gap must be sealed to not lose air pressure on the cooler.
