All of the talking about front mounting of oil coolers has me thinking....
Has anyone removed the stock oil cooler and used the mounting holes to hold a plate with an fittings? You could then ues the stock location as a take off to 2 hoses that can be then run to the front of the car. Am I crazy???? I have a lathe and mill so fabrication is no problem....thanks, herb thinking about an-10 or an-12 for sizes..... |

I wouldn't mount in the front- mount it in the back at the engine. That way the cold oil won't be in your line all the way to the front before it returns to the engine.
I didn't use the Kerry Hunter plate- I used the typical VW type 1 for $12.95. Paul |
