I am not sure I follow; you hook the existing lines into a bridge line? How does that turn off the flow?
What if I just inserted some valved fitting and stopped the flow to the cooler? Would that work? I guess I would drain the oil out of the oil lines to the cooler after I valved them closed...

I just checked my gallery and must have deleted a recent pic of my Canton thermostat set-up. I think you can still see it in one of the engine pics.

But just to help you (and others) out, I just snapped these pics of the bridge and how it would attach.





And no one give me any crap for the oil residue on the one fitting...has been cleaned and fixed!

What you need to do with the bridge is put a piece of plastic hosing on the braided hose so IF you should ever need to use it, it won't scratch up the aluminum where it will be resting...But you know, since you have made the provision for a cooler failure, you'll never have a problem with it....Murphy's Law #11...

If I were to look for those type of hoses with the color connectors, how would I describe it? Is there a technical name for those hoses w/ their colored connectors?
Thanks in advance for your reply..
