Collin Unregistered	Posted Monday, March 2, 2009 @ 04:48 PM Hello, Will the 7 row oil cooler from the type 4 replace the 5 row cooler with out hitting the cowling of the RF5B? --------------------
jb92563 Unregistered	Posted Monday, March 2, 2009 @ 04:56 PM Based on the pictures here; http://www.cfiamerica.com/Sportavia_RF5B_For_Sale.html If there is nothing major hanging down from the inside of the cowl it should fit. I replaced a 5 row with a 7 row cooler and it only adds about an inch to the height. I could get exact measurements if you need them. Ray [Edit by jb92563 on Monday, March 2, 2009 @ 04:58 PM]
Collin Unregistered	Posted Monday, March 9, 2009 @ 08:28 PM Hello, Here is a picture of the Type 4 oil cooler. It measure 3 3/8" (80mm). Part Number 021 117 021B --------------------
Collin Unregistered	Posted Monday, March 16, 2009 @ 08:38 PM Hello, I just received a email from Bruce who we bought the RF5B from. The std size oil cooler is very close to the cowling. So no bigger cooler for now. Collin
