So after a little brainstorming on an oil cooler layout, I figured I better actually do it.
Started out by figuring out the mounting of the cooler itself. It's a very large (4 x 24 fin area) and I think a good fit for a 3.6 since it doesn't have an engine mounted cooler. I started by cutting sections out of the front support tray for clearance and then re-boxing the area to keep the shelf rigid and serve as a mounting point for the front of the cooler. Here's a pic of the cut outs........... Attached image(s)

Wrapping the plug with something does help when it comes to pulling the plug out. I used wide clear shipping tape because f/g won't stick to it and it leaves a nice smooth finish on the 'glass.
I'm not going to say anything about the line size, but that glass work it top notch (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) P (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |
