Over the past few days, fabricated and installed the heater door, the coolant radiator, the oil tank and the coolant overflow tank. The plans seem to be OK here. Then started to look at the frame that sets around the oil cooler radiator. The plans here are VERY poor.
If you do not want to get frustrated, be VERY CAREFUL when following the plans on page 49-09 & 49-10. They may be partially correct BUT the descriptors used are not consistent, which increases the confusion level to the maximum.
Dry fit all of the components and then mark which hole has to be C/S and which hole has to be dimpled. The rivets have to be flush adjacent to the oil cooler AND the rivets have to be flush where they contact the fiberglass cooling shroud.
I read the plans initially, and marked which side had to be C/S or dimpled and STILL got it wrong. I am so glad I read ahead here.
Dry fit the components, mark each hole and the side of the hole that has to be C/S or dimpled and READ AHEAD.
These two plan pages are POOR!!!
Time over the Past Days - 16 hours
