Brief Description:  Oil cooler plenum and ducting install

Mail finally arrived in time for me to cut a 21" section of the 2" Cat tubing and test fit the cooler plenum as well. Looks like everything is going to work really well. I was thinking Id have to add a clamp to the forward SS tube, but after test fitting, the fit is really snug and won't need it at all. This will make assembly and removal a lot simpler. My hope now is that my measurements are correct and the tube length is correct when installed. Not a lot of room for excess so it has to be right on.
I then baked the plenum after spraying it with a waterbased clear, thinking it was cure enough to wet sand. WRONG. I spent a good 1/2 hour trying to remove the ruined clear and gave up. I'm gonna have to spray it with a matching hammered black that is on the intake plenums. At least everything will match. :) it was bad enough to NOT take pictures :)
Fortunately, I was able to add the 3 nutplanes to the bottom and now after she gets painted, it will be ready to fly!
