Oil Cooler Part #.

[Lood]

Could anybody help me out with the correct oil cooler part # on my 1967 M20F, please. Also which is best, Aero Classics, Aero Classics HE Series, Meggit, NDM, etc?

 

My oil cooler is not in good shape anymore and I want to replace it during the upcoming anual.

The type certificate say Stewart Warner 8432A, E, F, F1, or L.

I've heard that some models of the NDM, don't cool as well as the OEM versions. No such news on the others.

67F, no dog house, with the new unit I would get the Lasar mod that moves the oil cooler behind #4 Cylinder.  The fins are always going to get beat down out front there.  Add a second landing or taxi light in the hole where the oil cooler used to be.  Wish I could, but mine has the dog house.

Hi Steve,

This was my idea, but unfortunately, I live in Africa (South Africa is not really different anymore) and with our current government, everything is sliding backwards. Over regulation is becoming a serious problem in general aviation and the "user pays" policy is the norm.

Regardless of the fact that there is an FAA approved STC on this mod, our CAA requires a mod approval application. They can easily take up to 6 months to either grant or refuse and either way, this application goes together with quite a ridiculous application fee.

So, I'm forced to stick with the original indstallation.

 

Even improving the safety of a certified airplane by installing a 406Mhz ELT, for instance, or newer and much improved avionincs, all goes the same route, regardless of whether the have already passed FAA certification and approvement for installation. Another example, we don't have WAAS reception in all of Africa, but we are only allowed to install WAAS models G430's or G530's, etc. No G400, 420, 430, 480, 530, etc are allowed, because they're not WAAS capable! Bloody rediculous!
