Landing Light Installation

[d dyre]

I have been thinking about installing a landing light in the space where the oil cooler used to be, maybe with a Citabria bracket. Anyone tried such a thing? Seems like a field approval might be possible for it.

Randy Rubbert once showed me a picture of a very professional installation that he had made of a landing light in the oil cooler opening on a SC -- looked great. I would expect that he has a 337 for it.

I have such a cowl from a PA12 that uses a quartz light for NAPA. I believe it was done under a Field approval

Thank you for the information. For the little I would use it this would seem a better deal than the wing contraption.

I've talked to people who have nosebowl-mounted landing lights (usually on Cessna's) & they seem to think that engine vibration causes shorter element life there than with leading-edge mounted lights.

I think there is high density foam around this oil cooler light in order dampen vibrations.
