Bill,

 

That's the way the radiators were mounted in the picture.  There we= re also braces behind the radiators at the bottom connecting them to the en= gine mount plate.  I flew for awhile with that configuration but after= doing a vibration analysis, I removed the mounting tabs connecting the tube to the reduction drive and also removed = the braces to the engine mount plate.  Instead, I mounted the bottom o= f the radiators to the engine mount (not the engine) and installed tubes fr= om the top of the radiators to the upper mounting point at the firewall.  All four mounting points at the radi= ators are fitted with rubber vibration isolators.  The radiators are&n= bsp;completely isolated from the engine and reduction drive and removing fo= ur nuts allows the radiators to be removed as a unit.

I machined an aluminum block that installed at the stock oil filter loca= tion that allowed attaching the original oil filter base pointing downward = and also provided oil ports for oil pressure and temperature sensing and oi= l supply to the reduction drive.  This has been reliable for over 300 hr.  Just a data point.
