Guys... gotta get my 2 cents worth in here....

   I found that on my gyroplane installation, the remote assembly vibrated
   loose when attached to the engine or it's direct attachments....
   yet when I
   attached it to the frame (the firewall or engine mount) the system
   worked
   fabulously.

   The small vibrations of the engine, redrive, and prop should not be
   overlooked as a failure point contribution system when attaching
   hoses with
   pseudo lever arms to these threaded attachments.

   Mounting the remote filter system past the rubber bushing engine
   mounts will
   provide a pound of prevention!!    and oh.. btw.. the same is true for
   ignition coils as well!

   Ok, my 2 cents worth... we now return to your regularly scheduled
   transmissions!

Gary, That is a very valuable 2 cents worth. An example would be some of
the Earls' oil coolers. (Don't use these on your rotary BTW, too low a
burst pressure) On the Earls' they removed the end ears with the mount
holes because they would lever the cores and cause cracks and leaks. They
suggested a clamp mount for the cooler. Be sure the mounting location is
up to holding everything.
