Just some preliminary info:
 $29.95	Oil Cooler Sandwich Plate
	18x1.5mm Filter Thread, 21.2" diameter O-ring groove
	Part No.  1231-18x1.5
$119.99	Oil Cooler
	13row x 3.88"  13 3.88 8AN fittings
	Part No.  1210-13-8AN
  $4.89	Male NPT to AN fitting (2x)
	3.8 NPT to 8AN, Aluminum
	Part No.  3250-06-08
 $12.99	90deg 8AN->hose fitting (2x)
	Part No.  3271-08-090
 $49.90 10ft 8AN steel braided hose

for a grand total of $235.64

Prices and part numbers are from pegasusautoracing.com.  I'm going to
get a similar set of parts worked up for Earl's fittings.

I'm not 100% sure on the 18x1.5mm part, but for $29.99 I'll pick one up
and make sure it fits.  I just need to figure out how/where to mount the
cooler.

Thanks to Don Istook for pointing me in the right direction.

Sure beats the hell out of $700 for the RS4 cooler.
