oil cooler options
oil cooler options
i see the oil cooler options on robber bros.
is there any cheaper ( and possibly better ) alternatives out there,
maybe even OEM part from another car.
where have you mounted your oil cooler ? and where does it connect to the block? presume ill need a sandwitch plate?
talking of which i need a cover plate for the fuel pump housing. seeing as im going to be using an electronic pump. any ideas where i can get one?
once again many thanks guys.

You can make the cover plate for the fuel pump...or get them from Moss.
You can get the special oil pump adaptor plate but I'm not sure if Moss still have these.
My oil cooler is behind the no. plate but not much good there for a road car (as I need to take the no. plate off).
