Mocal oil cooler & sandwitch plate ordered

[parrot]

1/2 " push fit hose. I ordered 3 metres and I had quite a bit left over, even after I decided to change one of the hoses.

1/2 BSP thread for the fittings.

For a 1600cc naturally aspirated engine a 13 row cooler is heaps. This cost me GBP 59 but then they gave me 25% off everything.......

I have placed mine as low as possible in front of the radiator at the bottom right corner as you look from the front of the car. It is placed hard up against the radiator core. The hoses run through the oval shaped hole under the battery tray. I enlarged this slightly and modified an oval shaped rubber blanking plug I found on the front of an MX83 Cressida. Drilled holes in this for the hoses and there is no way the hoses will ever rub on the body work.

Make sure you place the cooler so the inlet/outlet is at the top, not the bottom, to minimise risk of airlocks.

The guys at Think Auto really know what they are doing so let them know what you are planning and they will tell you what you need. You can actually get a kit ready made up for an AE86 with hoses and all.
