My setup is quite standard in principal. Obviously one has to thoroughly seal
all
gaps in the LOWER cooling channel. I also cut away the edge of the lower
cowling,
which prevented the hot air from smoothly exiting the cowling behind the
radiator. I only have a very narrow gap of about 5mm left between the radiator
and the lower cowling for the (only 7-row !) oil cooler behind the radiator.
This oil cooler overleaps 4 rows with the radiator. The 7-row oil cooler is
plenty and parts of it blanked off in temperatures 30C in my Turbo-Rotax-powered
Europa Trigear.
That said, it is some fiddeling (especially at the Trigear) to remove and
reinstall
the 3 aluminium sheets between the lower cowling and the radiator. That can
be done in a more sophisticated way with epoxi (after finding the final setup)
and should be much easier on the Mono, because you don't have an extra panel
around the nosewheel leg.
