Default Oil cooler mounting

FUNFER2,

All good advice, and where to find information.

With the Mocal oil cooler you should have information on how to mount it,

If its over 13 row (eg. 16 row) they recommend fitting through bolts and anti crush spacers between the mounting lugs, they dont mention rubber mounting, but I think some rubber is good, I am going to fit little BMC or Mini exhaust system round rubber bobbins, they have a thread each side, these will mount on small brackets from cooler, then to chassis brackets. On the top will be a thin strip of rubber, and attached to the bottom of the main radiater shroud.

In NZ unless I strike a really hot day in the summer racing and due to races here being only 5 laps, and oil cooler is totally unecessary, But as these cars came with and they look good, a thermostat is most important, and a further expense. The next thing is protection, I have seen some nice fine mesh fitted right against the radiators, I am not sure whether to fit this against or maybe better 2" away from the fins.
