After a lot of tweaking on the placement of the Oil Cooler and Coolant Radiator, we think we've finally nailed it down. New brackets were constructed to mount to them to the engine. Also, a single bracket ties them together. Rubber shock mounts were added for vibration isolation.

With the locations fixed. The two cowl openings were planned. We drew on the cowling the maximum size and placement of the openings. We started with a 4" hole and slowly opened up the hole until we were happy with the size to hopefully provide ultimate cooling air into the two cooling devices. Our plan is to glass in some curve edges to make the openings more aerodynamic and provide some strength to the cowl in the areas that material was removed.
