2 Beaver Instruction Manual
87.
Assemble the oil cooler using similar steps as used on the upper
carb intake.
a.
Trim the flange on the base to be about ¼
”
-
5/16”
wide (6mm
-
8mm)
b.
Cut out the bottom of the intake portion. Mark and trim the
intake sides about
1/8”
(3mm) farther.
c.
Mark and trim across the intake portion about
1”
(25mm) aft of
the intake face. Best practice is to trim a little long then re-
move more material bit by bit to achieve the best fit.
d.
Keep trimming and sanding the aft and bottom edges of the intake portion until the proper fit with the base portion is achieved.
e.
Cut a strip about
1/8”
(3mm) wide from the scrap material behind the intake portion and glue onto the lip of the base portion. This strip
will help shim the intake portion so the outer surfaces of the two pieces will fair properly across the joint. Sand or file so the intake por-
tion fits properly in place.
f.
Glue the intake portion to the base portion.
