I like the way you have taken the effort to seal around your radiators - even a small air leak can be significant in the cooling game. Also like the way you have secured the electrical wiring. While I also use electric plastic tie wraps in the same manner, I have heard from those who don't recommend it - apparently there has been cases where dirt/grime between the tie and motor mount has actually worn through metal. These cases have all involved the earth shaker big bore aircraft engines. In 9 years of flying, I have found no wear but thought I would mention it. Any photos of the induction side of the installation?
