Looks good from what I can see, Dennis. 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?

Attached are more pictures of my cowl and radiator installation.
Comments are welcome!
The first picture shows the inside of the lower cowl with the inlet duct
to the radiators and the air cleaner for the engine intake at the top.
The second picture is a left side view of the engine and radiators.
The third picture shows the RX 7 (1989?) oil cooler mounted next to the
Griffin GRI-2-58185-X radiator with fin dimensions 12.75" wide x 18"
long x 2.75" thick.
