Bill,
My rear cockpit NACA duct is installed with proseal and rivets. I didn't try
to think of another way to do it - although there may be some way to clamp it.
My duct hose is not yet installed as I plan to install it after the wings are
on the fuselage. I'm also going to install one of my OATs in the underwing
duct.

I live in Forsyth, about 25 miles north of Macon. I'm building my 8 in my shop
there. Question: when do you ProSeal the duct face to the bottom of the right
wing ? Is there any way to clamp it to the metal without drilling and dimpling
? Should the duct hose be connected at attachment or can I get to the rear of
the duct after the glue cures ? I hope to finish he wings this weekend. Best
regards, Bill of Georgia

Dennis,
I mounted my oil cooler on the firewall and, although I haven't yet flown,
I'm convinced from studying other web sites and information posted on the
internet that my setup will be successful. I have the 11 row dual pass S&W, which
is larger than other coolers, so finding room on the firewall was challenging.
I focused on providing sufficient, unobstructed airflow into and out of the
cooler.
If you'd like photos I can send them (let me know) or you can view them on my
web site at _http://www.rv-8a.net/chronology.htm_
(http://www.rv-8a.net/chronology.htm) beginning on 8 Jan 07 and ending on 30 Jan 07. The page is very
long so you'll need high speed internet to view it in a reasonable amount of
time.
If you have questions about my installation feel free to contact me at
speedy11 at aol.com. Also, after I fly I will post info on my oil temps.

Has anybody out there ever sucessfully mounted an oil cooler on the firewall
of an 8? If so do you have pictures? I saw one on a 6 today. Not sure if there
is room on our firewalls but if so I would sure like to do it that way rather
than on the back baffle.
