Oil cooler relocation

[Guitarmaster]

I am thinking about doing the oil cooler relocation STC. My question is this, what do you do with the gaping hole in the cowling when you're done? I have not been able to find anything about the second landing light installation although I have seen it done on other planes.

I had Lasar install a 2nd landing light, Both should be LED's.

Byron took some nice photos of glass work he did on a cowl.

Corvette shops are pretty good making holes like that disappear.  It would be best that your mechanic were to take your cowl to discuss the proper materials required for aviation use.

Or go with the landing and taxi lights option...

Best regards,

LASAR has the kit.

LASAR has the kit.

I couldn't find it on their site. I'll try calling, maybe it is just not listed.... Or I missed it.

This is exactly what I am looking for except I can't fly all the way to CA to get it done. ☹️

LASAR sells lots of parts, and ships them everywhere. I can't imagine they wouldn't sell you the STX and the kit, for your A&P to install . . .

My 2nd landing light was installed locally with the kit LASAR provided.

Oscar: ARI.

A previous owner, Ronald Westbrook of Chickamauga GA,  retired military, airline pilot, rest his soul, chose to make my '66E into his ideal retirement airplane. He changed the tail number to 943RW - I understand that his wife was born in September 1943:

Thank you, I like the nose cowl. It looks much better than the original. I guess it must help with the cooling...
