Hello Paul,
I have Rhino and have drawn this many time and moved many things over
the last months.
I have 11" from the E shaft pulley and was looking to see whether
there may be room for the radiator but your research put that thought
to rest.
I have two bracket on the front of the radiator and will put the
slightly modified cowl back on in the morning and resume progress.
Attached a photo of the end of my nights work.

Paul what is the estimate of power absorbed by the oil injection pump
through the front gear train.

Next to nothing. The metering pump is so low pressure that it could be twisted
with a straw :) If you are thinking of using it as a power takeoff
it would not be able to drive much torque. The shaft and gear are of a fair
size but there are no thrust bearings.
