Hi Steve. Yeah I still here.
My radiator is aftermarket welded Ali originally made for V8 Commodore. I can't remember size off top of head but I cut about a 100mm out the centre. The 2 remaining pieces I stacked 1 in front of other. Hot coolant flows across back section & returns across front section. Delta T is even over the entire core due to this.
Radiator actually cools a bit too well as I can maintain max power & climb without issue. If I was to redo it I would make it smaller.
Haven't flown for awhile ( Dad succumbed to the big C in 2020 so I now have an extra farm that I have to look after until one of the kids shows interest). Just started getting plane ready to go again now.
Cheers Andrew
After many mods I'm thinking of doing a redesign and cleanup of my cooling system and surrounding parts packed into the right hand side of the cowl.
Andrew Martin, are you there? I’ve lost your mobile No.
I recall you mentioning your radiator design.
I’m interested to check its construction and who fabricated it for you.
Cheers
