I spent the morning fighting the two hoses that connect to the oil cooler. On the right side the hose wants to twist in a way that makes the cooler unit want to be anything but square to the cowling. The left side from the "out" side of the oil reservoir seems almost too short...I changed the hose's routing to gain as much slack as possible, and rotated the reservoir as much as I can, but getting the cooler against the cowling so that the two AN3 bolts could be installed seems all but impossible. When the cowling is roughly in place you can't do much about trying to move the cooler unit because there's too much "stuff" in the way. And the two hoses seem intent on twisting the cooler so that it cannot be properly aligned with the cowling's opening.
I just left it for now...will go at it again tomorrow, but this looks like one heck of an alignment problem.
If you had the same problem I'd sure like to hear how you managed to resolve the very awkward installation. Thanks.
