Hi paul.

My rads. are 10 x 13 x 2, brass, not including the tanks on top & bottom.
BTW I had thought my engine sounded and felt slightly retarted, I was right
, Neil found the trailing retarded about 3-4 degrees. I can now get my
engine up to 6000 rpm and climb at 1500 fpm. Coolant never goes above 185
and oil 170 regardless of load, the oil temp still drops slightly as the oat
drops in level flight.

Thanks Jim. 

Looks like you did a great job sealing the intake duct to
the rads.

Do you have any frontal picturs showing the air intake
sizes? If so can you please have them scanned in and send them to us.
If you would like to mail them instead let me know.

In the mean time what are their dimensions?
They look like stock RV6 openings.

Sounds like you can cut them down a little and reduce the drag.

BTW do you recall the weight of those rads?
