Hi Y'all,
I was thinking that a lot of folk with a heater on a Europa had used the oil
cooler as a heat source. I'm not sure if you could control the oil temp using
this method since I have not practical experience at this yet. Building a
classic monowheel, I think I will be resigned to having to purchase TWO
heater boxes and bolt them to each side of the firewall in order to have a
firestop. Upstream from that, the two would "Y" together to a shroud behind
all or some of the oil cooler mounted under the spinner. Is this sound
reasoning you all? (I wish there was a way to incorporate cooling air into
the ducts at some point to feed two eyeball vents I have in the panel.)
If you use one heater box you would have to tee off it to both footwells to a
flange fitting on each. Then to have a fire stop at the firewall you'd have
to have yet another shut-off at each flange. Too complex. I may just move to
Florida.
