QUOTE(Mitox @ Dec 29 2025, 07:43 PM)  So, with the oil cooler connection holes relocated, and the screw holes modified, the oil cooler is in place for the first trial. Now to make a mount under the oil cooler. Looking good. If you don't mind me asking but why add a mount under the cooler? I plan on mounting my cooler on the upper mounts only. I purchased the same cooler setup as you so I'm currently working through this as well. My cooler mounts nicely to the upper steel shroud that I have. Nothing hits anywhere when it's all in place. I want to add a few fans so dealing with that now. I wish PMB would do a step by step install vid so we all know the best way to tackle this. I just don't want a premature failure due to an improper installation. |

I just don't want a premature failure due to an improper installation. The cooler is very light, so mounting only on the top is likely sufficient. I added the bottom mount for two reasons; first, I’m modifying the shroud to alllow easy removal while the oil cooler stays in place, and secondly, the original had a bottom mount in the center. |

More parts showed up at my door today.
I’ll use this mesh for the oil cooler inlet and outlet. It’s a little smaller than the engine cover mesh, but the same style in stainless steel. The openings are roughly 6mm x 3.3mm  |
