Ernest,
I am still planning on remote radiators but not as far to the rear of
the Delta as you have indicated. I plan on mounting a GM evaporator on each
side of the a/c to the rear of the firewall between the second and third rib
inboard of the Delta centersection. the large 9.5"x13" evaporators fit very
well here. I am using a NACA report on radiators buried in wings from the
1940's to size, shape and position the inlets and outlets. I will use alum.
tubing and short hose connectors. Not sure of what size yet but will be
larger than 5/8" but smaller than 2". I am leaning toward 1.25" or 1.5".
I am considering running the alum tube inside a duct that I can put
cooling air through.
