More metal work.

I started with a flat plate of aluminum.
I used a cut-off wheel, file, steel plate, clamp, block of wood, BAFH, and a drill and ended up with a new oil cooler mount.















I am going to mount some kind of protective screen for the cooler and a block-off plate for the outer end to force the incoming air through the cooler.
The next step in the oil cooler project is to make a mount for the outer end. It is going to have to be longer but I think I can use a very similar design.
Then I'll make the block-off plate and screen. Then I have to build the lines from the engine to the cooler. I have the hose and connectors from Setrab, so I just have to figure out the lengths and put it all together.

I still have a lot to do to get it ready for the C&C on Jan 6th.
