 Jerry,

   My oil cooler will be mounted in a "tray" lined with 1/4" neoprene. This
 is the stuff sold at hardware stores for use as door insulation. The guys
 where I bought my Setrab recommended this. Their customers using Setrab
 coolers in Baja racers use this mounting scheme.

   The tray will in turn be mounted to the airframe or engine mount. Still
 not certain of the details. I'm now working on my third iteration of
 building an oil cooler mount and ducting. The first 2 iterations I wrote
 off when it became clear that the chosen locations/ducts would be
 hopelessly inadequate at providing sufficient airflow.

   Charlie and Paul, thanks for the follow up info on Positech. I wasnt
 aware that they had changed designs and expanded their line. I'll take a
 look. I'm confident that the Setrab I have is safe, but may eventually need
 a cooler with slightly more capacity.

Mike,  Do you have a drawing or photo of the tray?  Where did you buy
your Setrab?  I am just about to start a search for California
dealers.  Jerry

I think Baker Bearing in Cherry Hill or Long Beach might carry
them. Down the street from Mazdatrix.
