February 22, 200718 yr even stranger me to,just been waiting for someone else to ask and do the donkey work then like a ninja stalker strike and get in on somebody elses thread :D ffs excuse me i dont know what come over me :rofl:
February 22, 200718 yr I actually shortened my pipes when I did mine I set the g/box oil cooler low down on the koyo using cable ties, so it was in max air flow. I then used high quality cable ties and tied the pipes to the stainless rad pipes. I kept the hoses on the same side as the originals as it was easier to follow the lower rad pipe. HTH Marc
February 22, 200718 yr I used my stock pipes too They can be a sod to squeeze over the flared ends on the oil cooler pipes.
February 22, 200718 yr BTW I was using a fluidyne cooler, so may be different for other brands. Im doing a manwell conversion soon so the cooler will be up for grabs, only had it 6 months, been used for around 1000 miles :D
