Plastic moulded oil bottle mounting.
The oil overflow bottle, plastic
moulded type, as shown in the
photo on the right, is mounted to
the firewall with a saddle clamp on
the lower outlet, on the lower right
side of the firewall. The outlet is
identified by an aluminium tube
inserted in the connection stub, and
is the larger diameter of the 2
connecting stubs.
Position the oil bottle so that the
inlet line from the engine oil filler
will curve smoothly down to the
top fitting in the oil bottle without
rubbing against the inside of the
cowl, and so that the outlet at the
bottom can be routed into the
cutaway in the firewall as shown in
the photo at right.
Place the saddle over the lower oil
bottle outlet and mark the position
to drill through the firewall to fit
the saddle clamp with 2 self tapping
screws 6G x 1/2" long.
Remove the oil bottle and set aside for later fitting in the
Post-Paint>Fuselage>Firewall
forward>Final assembly
task.
This completes the
Pre-Paint>Fuselage>Firewall forward>Fit oil cooler
task.
