Dennis,
I mounted mine on the right side of the firewall and have had no
problems to date. I initially used the positech but quickley found that
it did not work. I got the harrison/stewart warner 10599 and all has
been well. I live near Atlanta and have flown my -8 out to Phoenix and
back in July with no problems.
You will have to make a plenum for the top of the cooler. I tig welded
an aluminum one for myself, but you could make a fiberglass one. I used
a three inch scat hose from the back of the baffling to the plenum. I
used 3/4" aluminum angle to mount the cooler at the top and bottom and
used long #10 bolts with compression tubes between the top and bottom
flanges of the cooler.
Contact me off-list and I'll send you a picture if I can find it or draw
you a sketch.

The real answer is if you are going Van's standard Pitot it is of little difference
but if you go with a heated unit by all means do it now before you rivet
on the skins

Al, thanks for the advise. My skin already has a big mast hole in the skin. I think
I'll wait to mount it until I get it to the hanger, Bill

Bill,
If you are going to put the mast into the bay where the tie down mount is, it can
be done later. I think it would be difficult but it can be done. I'm just about
to rivet the outboard aft bottom skin on
my left wing and I'm glad it's already installed. It was pretty easy to intsall
with the skin free. I did mount it one bay outboard of the tie down and don't
think that's possible as a "retrofit" after the skin is riveted into place.
