 |
The start of firewall forward; the stainless firewall. |
 |
More fitting of the cowl with baffels. |
 |
Side view of the installation so far. |
 |
The prop is on again. |
 |
Left rear of engine. Note that at this time there are about 160 hours of operating time on the aircraft and some wear is starting to show. Mag harness wires as well as the throttle cable, carb heat cable, gascalator, and fuel lines are visible. |
 |
Front left showing the extension for the forward left jug. |
 |
Front air dam showing the carb air intake filter and the carb heat intake. |
 |
Rear right view. Note that the neck on the oil kidney is the short version. On the COntinental C-65, there were a couple versions of this tank depending on the aircraft. The right side mag harness and mag leads can be seen as well as oil breather tube. |
 |
Firewall showing the different locations for holes. |
 |
Lower cowl right side. Note location of oil door. I had problems with this early on as I had the long neck version of the tank. The alum. plate around the valve covers was added in an attempt to raise oil temps (which worked). |
 |
The oil access door. Just a fiberglass door with alum. hinge. |
 |
Lower cowl, left side. Nothing special here. |
 |
Top cowl. Looking back, I would have probably painted the interior white. Otherwise, the only change is the addition of the access door (lower left in photo). This is to allow better visual inspection of the top of the engine without taking off the cowl. |
