The International Cessna^® 170 Association

A few years ago, a forum post included an attachment that was a picture of the seaplane oil cooler installation on an early O-300 equipped Cessna 172. Does anyone have that picture? For that matter, does anyone have any pictures (and/or parts) for the seaplane oil cooler installation?

The early 172 (which has the O-300 installation similar to the 170-B) has the following illustration and parts listing for the seaplane in its IPC:

Thanks, but I already have the IPC page. What I really want is a picture of the oil cooler installation on the front of the engine. Maybe a better part number than the Cessna 0550219-19 part number for the cooler. I'll bet the cooler was made by Harrison, since they made a cooler for the O-300. The cooler is unusual though, since the inlet and outlet are on the sides, not the top.

Unfortunately insufficient illustration is evident. There may be fittings associated with the cooler (hidden by the baffling) which mate-up to the ones shown in the IPC. The IPC may only catalog user-serviceable parts provided by Cessna…not parts associated with the cooler assy. Without addt’l info from Cessna regarding the conversion kit for floatplanes it’s difficult to know.
