Yes ! Blast tubes to cool the mags are highly recommended
by the overhaul shops. About a 1/2" hole will do, with almost any
kind of tubing to direct the cooling airflow onto the mag.
Even a bent-up sheet metal channel will help.
I just added them to my O-320, and, in a hurry, used the
plastic flex piping usually used to wrap bundles of wires, sealed
in with high temp. silicone - seems to work !
All things electronic seem to work better and longer when
kept cool, and mag coils and condensers can suffer from excess
heat.....

Hi Bob,
Do you guys cut holes in the baffling to duct cooling air to your mags?
