Fellow builders,



I would like to use Vans stock location for my firewall mounted oil cooler - in order that I can use their prefabbed lines.  I'm gonna need to build a couple regardless but they will be -6 instead of the oil cooler -8 lines.



I have Vans firewall foreward documentation but don't recall seeing a location called out.  I'm using an Aerosport built O360 so the stock engine locations are available.



Anyone out there used Vans oil cooler hoses with their called out location?  Please give me a leader on their documentation.



Thanks,

Ralph Capen

Be sure to use 1/2" oil lines not 3/8".� You need all the flow you can get for cooling.

  I mounted mine on the back of the left baffle so can't help on FW mount. I would just pick a place on the right side that will be clear of other stuff. My engine is a Aero Sport Power O-360 and I love it. Flying since July 2001. If I did a FW mount I would use a 9 tube cooler too. Again, hot oil temps are common on tri gears.
