Oil cooler upgrade for NA cars

[Huw Powell]

The oil lines on a cooler setup from a type 44 are too long to fit in a
type 85, unfortunately.  So while it would be a cool thing to add
(sorry), it would require getting metric fitted hoses (with the right
length and curves) made, which is not as easy as bolting on an
inexpensive toy from ebay.



  What makes this a "great upgrade"? 
  Don't the cars that need it, already have it? (not my argument, but it 
  sounded right) 
  My oil, if the gauge is to be believed, never gets above 130, and that
was 
  tailing Huw at 110mph for 30 minutes. That reading is barely halfway
up the 
  gauge. 



Hmm, thanks for the great story, but what were the conditions under
which 
this occured?  Here in CA, in the summer months where temps in the
central 
valley reach over 100 degrees, my Coupe GT would get really hot,
sometime 
even overheating going up really big inclines and such.  It definitely
could 
have used an oil cooler, and for $25, that ebay auction would have been 
"great".   

If you feel that your car is not running hot, then you do not likely
need 
additonal cooling capacity.
