Default Oil cooler inlet sceen

Not running an oil cooler. That gapping chasm of the missing oil cooler through the view of the front snout looks funny to me, so I'm fabricating an oil cooler hole screen and frame, and a panel to close off the bottom chamber.

Just finished making the screen and frame tonight. I formed a template with some lumber, shaped some aluminum 3/4" x 1/16" strips around the template, and fit some stainless steel wire mesh into it. I then riveted the secondary frame around the first to hold the wire mesh in place.

It looks beach'n!

From here I need to mount the panel supports and then I can install it.

I'll post pictures as I continue if anyone is interested.

Did I say it looks beach'n?
