Does anyone have info on installing a firewall mounted oil cooler on a 1966 7ECA? My oil temps run close to redline when it is over 90 degrees f outside.

Also has anyone found a source for the original snap vents for a Citabria. My came with both vents broken and taped up. I ordered replacements from Aircraft Spruce or Wag Aero and they fit the 2" holes but are not thick enough to span the outside skin, the 1/4 of foam type insulation, the inside skin and the upholstery fabric on the side walls.
 
I bought some vents from Wag Aero for my 65 ECA and they worked fine. The upholstry should squish sufficiently for the vents to snap in. If not you might trim a little of the foam from around the holes to thin that area a little.
