Brief Description:  Oil cooler lines and test fit

The new cooler is so cool! ;) The bracket fits great and the cooler looks so much better than the first one. I did, however, have to remove quite a bit of the lower cowling to clear the new cooler, but it's a blessing. The new cooler will allow a more attractive transition to the back end of the lower cowling as well as giving a nice "smiley" face to exit into the prop. This means more foam and glass work, but being cosmetic it should be pretty fun. Breaking out the sand paper again...;)
The new cooler bolts also arrive on Monday so I'm waiting on them. In the meantime, I found that small changes will need to be made to the oil cooler lines as well. I think the layout and routing will be the same, but the line lengths are critical to avoid high stresses so Instead of buying expensive new fittings, I'm going to try and just build new lines with the fittings I have. Luckily I had some new fittings left over in inventory to keep things looking new :)
