Using cabin heat butterfy valve as pattern, drilled the three rivet holes in firewall. Worked on baffel to get it to fit in cabin side of firewall. Had to trim baffel to clear diagional L bracket. Installed Aeroquip oil fittings using Permatex 56521 thread sealer on oil cooler and engine. May have to remove them to assemble hoses. As I was leaving, stopped by Paul's hangar and he said they were a bear to get together. Best to hold fitting in vise.

Paul was right. Tried to put oil line on oil cooler fitting. No luck. Removed fitting and attempted to put hose on fitting. First tried oil to lube then soap. Got part way on and asked for more help. Paul and Mike put their muscle to it. The three of us finally got one hose on. Paul suggested jamming a pair of needle nose pliers into hose to strech it a little and more lube. Got the next on started easier but ran out of hand strength and hose not on all the way. WOW!
