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.

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 do not archive -----Original Message----- From: althomas454@msn.com Sent: Mon, 29 Jan 2007 12:08 PM Subject: Re: RV8-List: Pitot Mast 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.
