Brief Description:  Install Oil Cooler and Brace

I am thinking about putting 063 angle aft of oil cooler forward flange to distribute the clamping load across the whole flange instead of pressure at the bolt holes in front of the aluminum spacer tubes. I would trim the spacer tubes by .063 to allow same tight fit. We'll see.
Oil lines (-8 fittings) were so large compared to brakes and fuel lines. I had to use 7/8 crows foot wrench with my 3/8 drive socket to maneuver in some tight spaces to secure the B nuts properly. It worked.
