mwilkinson Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Although not essential I have decided to install a small mocal oil cooler to replace the aftermarket cooler that comes with my FMIC. I have a 10 row, 115mm cooler with 3/8 bsp fittings. What I would like some advice on is on what pipes I now need to connect this all up. Obviously I need a 3/8 bsp connectors on one end but what is the standard fitment on the other end? Also does anyone know where I could get such piping from? Material types etc..

Material types etc.. i cant remember the size of the hose (slide the hose forward on the bottom of the PAS reservoir and measure the steel tube) i got my hose from a specialist motorsport shop, make sure its rated for oil and at least 150 C, if they cant tell you the rating walk away, you must use barbed connectors on the cooler otherwise the hoses will come off (i learned this the hard way ) and use 2 jubilee clips per connection, re-tighten them after about a weeks use as well, use some pipe lagging where the hose passes other components otherwise it will chaff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
