<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<--->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> << Lancair Builders' Mail List >> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<--->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Diamond Aircraft has fiberglass oil cooler diffusers (they call them "plenums") that they use on their Katanas. They looked pretty nice at Oshkosh, where I saw one installed on the Continental engine with FADEC installed. I didn't get to see it on the Katana because they had the cowling on. It has a round inlet for SCAT tubing, making a 90 degree bend and transitioning to a rectangular outlet which attaches to the cooler. It looked like a lightweight part painted with speckly black paint, like Zolatone. Not a prize-winning showplane part, but perfectly serviceable. Their family of aircraft uses two different oil coolers, the Stewart Warner 10568 (Positech's equivalent is #4212) and the Stewart Warner 10599 (Positech's equivalent is #4215). The Lancair 320/360 uses the latter (10599 / 4215). The Diamond part number for the plenum for the 10599 / 4215 cooler is 22-7923-10-00. The price is $168.92. You can order it through Diamond at (519) 457-4041. Push "2" to get the parts department. There is presently a three-week backlog. At that price, I'll probably make my own....unless Lancair can cut us a nice deal.... - Rob Wolf LML website: http://www.olsusa.com/Users/Mkaye/maillist.html LML Builders' Bookstore: http://www.buildersbooks.com/lancair Please send your photos and drawings to marvkaye@olsusa.com.
