Just something I'm pondering. Probably won't work but thinkin about doesn't cost anything.
I'm considering an oil cooler for a new larger type IV (2270). I need to do rust repair in the hell hole this winter and I'm cosidering lowering the battery shelf and moving it toward the firewall. This could give me enough room to mount a cooler with a fan above the battery. The positives 1)near cool air, 2)easy to plumb, 3)relatively inexpensive The negatives 1)don't know if it will work 2)probably have to remove it to get to the battery PITA, 3)it will dump warm air on the battery. Let me know what you think Dave |
