Oil Cooler pipe and pipes......

[BUSHWHACKER]

I was looking at this pipe a while back & i asked if it was ok to use on a transmission cooler & they said it would be fine.

Yeah that'll be OK. use good quality hose clips though, not those 100 for 99p Aldi 'specials'!

Speaking of aldi "well netto actually" i bought one of these little cutters yesterday.

Can't seem to find it on the netto site but this is the same one & the netto price is £24.99.

Had a good surf online but came to this one made in england "Brand New Oil Cooler 235mm 16 Row 1/2" BSP fittings" on ebay item no.300525137055.
Didn't want to chance breakers yard so brought new.
Ordered some 1/2"bsp to 10mm spigot adaptors from another ebay place
item no. 120651128142

Thinking of fitting something like this myself. Any chance of a few installation pics please?

Cheers

Will do when i finally get the right bits.....doh
spigot adaptors are wrong type for that cooler.

Thanks. I'll look forward to seeing them.
Hope you manage to get the bits you need without too much messing around.

Went shopping and brought some materials for fixing me cooler in and thought bugger it fit the cooler then plumb it in
when the rest arrives.

Got me self a steel fence post, cheap steel angle, fixed that across the
front of the rad then hung the cooler from that.
Added a smal angle bracket to stop it wobbling as only used one hole either end at the top. Solid as lama pooh now.

Going to route the pipes through the hole to the left and down to the original cooler pipe down the bottom of the rad.











What you think...?????

Looks good - but how solid is Llama poo? not many Llama's around here!

I agree.....looking good !

Just a couple of questions........

(1) Aren't these coolers designed to be fed from the top?

(2) A bit hard to tell from the pic, but the cooler looks to be slightly higher than the transmission. If so, wouldn't that cause the ATF to pewk out of the dipstick tube before you've got enough in there to reach the cooler?

The above sound logical to me at the minute, but then I have had several pints and a few small ones so maybe I'm talking b*****ks. If that's the case, just ignore me and I'll get back in my box.
