Oil cooler required bits?

[MarkGolf 0]

Hi,

 

I've got a 13 row cooler and that is all..

 

I know I need a sandwich plate and hoses. I plan to pop down to think automotive this week and get myself these bits, but, is there anything else I need?

 

 

What is the thing in the bag and can I bin the standard oil cooler?

 

I have no clue when it comes to the best set up for oil coolers so any advice is good advice!

 

Thanks

 

p.s, what length hose do I need?

i can supply you these parts all you need to is specify the length of hose needed and also what thread type on your cooler. Std is 1/2"bsp for referance

Can I bin the standard oil cooler?

I have a mocal cooler. 1/2" BSP fitting with 1 m of line all hooked up to a Mk1 Oilfilter mount. 1.5m of line should be fine. My cooler is mounted infront of the Rad.

 

I dumped the original oil water heat exchange unit. Still got it in the shed. Will refit if it is needed.

Is the oil cooler the same as the corrado vr one ?

2_Door_fun, do you have the sandwich plate and thermostat setup or is the mocal permanantly in circuit regardless of oil temp?

Is there a part number for a thermostatic sandwich plate oil cooler?
