I need to modify 3 oil coolers for various projects, including mine. So I decided that since I'm doing all this other originality-inspired development, I might as well do something for the oil cooler. The original 914/6 coolers have a sweeping bend, not a hard 90 like most conversions use. I happened to have some 1" aluminum tube from a project 10 years ago, and I also had 1" mandrel for my pipe bender. So I gave it a shot. You'll notice the OE cooler has a much sharper bend (less sticking out the back). This is because the early coolers used 0.75" tube, which has a tighter minimum bend radius. I could make an OE version, but since the coolers I'm using have the 1" pipe, I made it to match. I also welded a AN-16 fitting on the end.
I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif) Attached image(s)
