Manual Reference:  Engine radiators
Brief Description:  Completed engine radiator installation

Opened all of the holes mounting the radiators to the installation brackets and assembled with CherryMax rivets after validating the CherryMax tension capability.

Also, sanded the crappy paint job off of the firewall support rods.

Installed the radiators and engine mount base to the airframe in order to verify sufficient clearance between the components. All checked our OK.

Decided the in order to maintain clearance between the firewall (foot box corner) and the engine mount base that clips were needed to hold the firewall tight against the fuselage frame members. (Otherwise, under engine vibration, there is an excellent chance that they would rub against each other.)
