Manual Reference:  Oil cooler brace
Brief Description:  fabricated oil cooler brace

I feel like I am moving forward again.

The baffles/cowling really slowed me down.

Last night, I fit the oil cooler in place. When the oil cooler is on, the rear baffle, behind the #4 cylinder has a good bid of play in it - a lot of flex. On Vansairforce, there have been a lot of stories about that corner of the baffle assembly cracking due to fatigue failure.

I know the design of the baffles was reinforced. I added a cross-angle and a diagonal tube brace.

That rear baffle wall is a lot more stabile.
