    Oil cooler fittings

    Does anyone know the size of the fittings on the oil filter housing for the take and return from the oil cooler? Looking to get some hoses made up and a Mocal installed.

    Cheers

    might be worth speaking to Andy P. he bought some recently to make a new cooler bracket, 12mm IIRC.
    not sure if they're the same size as the fittings on the oil stat housing though

      The ones I got were for the opposite end and they were 12L. Not sure if they are the same thread at each end, best thing is to take the std hose to your local hydraulic supplier and they will match them up for you.

        Cheers guys, I'm at work at the moment and will be for the next couple of weeks, so unable to remove the lines from the car (it's also a daily driver), so I'll be needing to refit them as soon as possible. Any idea on an approximate length of hose from the cooler to the thermostat housing? Ideally I'll get them made up and ready for when I get home and fit the lot in one go. Looking at the 13 row Mocal coolers, in case anyone has experience with them.

            120C after 4 or 5 constant laps. 9 Laps in one session, so it wasn't too bad, just for a little bit of a safety margin. Might thrown a brand new cooler on and see if that will help me for next time if I can't get this organised.

              probbly not much between the aby and the mocal to be honest....the e3 one is quite a bit cheaper than the aby from memory though. 120 in a hot June isnt bad to be honest, mine about the same or slightly higher on 10w 60
