Graham,

     I am now flying my mono-wheel with the cooling mod's.  I mounted the oil 
cooler
in front just below the spinner.  I used the old classic oil cooler and
bolted it to the engine.  Then made an opening and made smooth transitions from
the outside.  However, I could not provide much of an expansion duct to slow
the air down but I can say that my oil cooler is working very good.  Here in
Florida it gets a bit warm but my oil temps are running a bit cool.  In fact I
may have to close up the opening a bit to raise the temps.  I'm running 190F
to 195F in that region.  On the ground, in taxing mode I have seen it 205 to 
210F.
So that mod definitely works.
