There is only one spring per side. It looked like there could be two but only one attach on the exhaust manifold. I checked with Jabiru on this one also. What Happened here is I didn't really get it fully engaged with the exhaust manifold.

Here you can see the correct engagement. I am about an inch deeper that the previous photo. I had to move the cabin heat and carb heat manifolds plus loosen up the manifold attach to the cylinder to make it go on. Once I did this it fit on better and you can see the difference. I wasn't happy with the position of the oil cooler in the cowl scoop. So I played with the position of the oil cooler and modified the bracket to move it down more.

A view from the other side.

Here are the deflectors. This took more time than I thought. But ended up fine.

Here is the hold down spring. This is the first configuration. I have the duct over the top of the deflectors. This did not work well.

I ended up trimming the duct further to have them set on top of the deflectors. This made it much easier to install the baffles in the duct.

There isn't much definition on the deflectors in the duct. It only says that they need to be located in the center of the cylinder. So here is what I came up with.

Not real pretty with the epoxy but will work.

I wasn't happy with the amount of room to grab on to the scat hose for the cabin heat. This was very short. I epoxied a piece of PVC in to give it some more room.

Mating up the top cowl with the air ducts was straight forward. Just a little trimming on the right side.

The left side fit with out any trimming.
On to the oil cooler. Here you can see it in the modified position.


I like this position better. It was kind of high before.

Here is the modified bracket.

Oil cooler installed.

Here is my ramp.

Now the view with everything installed. You can see the support for the oil cooler line. I also added some baffle material to seal it up and force air through he cooler.

A view from another angle. Still have some work to do.

Used copper tube to make the Mag cooler

And the other side.

Installed the nutplates and the Camlocs

Had to do a lot of trimming on the scoops.

Used superglue to attach the rubber.

I ended up using a magnet on the oil filter. I have a friend that sells them and he convinced me that I is worth the expense. http://www.filtermag.com/
