COOLING SYSTEM AND RADIATOR SHROUD

***PLEASE NOTE: THE REMOVAL OF ANY GEARBOX REQUIRES A NEW CENTERING BUSHING, EVERY TIME***


Latest version:

The Coolant overflow bottle should be under the overflow outlet on the firewall.

Please note that there are slight variations in radiator shrouds depending on aircraft/engine combination. Any Zenith with the new style cowling has the front scoop built into the cowling.

When installing on a Zenith Aircraft, the floor cross brace will get in the way, as shown in the image below, and you will need to notch it out. Many opt to move the floor brace on the inside of the aircraft. Either option works and is adequate.


Watch this video if you are trying to add the front airbox to pre-existing radiator shroud.
