Hi! Paul
I have no photos at present but have installed mine on the P1 foot well
with the Ignition regulator both in an insulated lightweight box
unsealed to the firewall to allow circulating cooling air to escape. I
have a 1" dia. Hose picking up intake air from well in front of the
radiator with a little permanent position flap "catching" air to the
box.
I do not have the "gills" open (left them closed since it has been
established that they were a development item providing little cooling
benefit on shut down(positioned too low) and are now a "leftover" item.)
I took some crude temperature tests early days and in flight they were
generally less than 30 deg but on shutdown without top cowl service
doors closed they never reach more than 37deg approx. Obviously opening
the doors immediately defrays the cowling heat quicker as does parking
into wind.

Hi All,
I am attempting to "shoe horn" in a second Grand Rapids EFIS screen into
my panel which is turning into an mechanical challenge. It is pretty
much looking like I am going to have to move it to the outside of the
firewall. I know a few folks have done this and provided cooling with a
blast tube. I was wondering if anyone had some photographs and best
practices to share.
Thanks, Paul
