Team Idris Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I've heard of a mocal oil cooler in the inner wing. Will need a little fan though and a baffle to stop wheel dirt. A 13 row might do on the road, maybe a 16 for towing and offroading with poor air flow. Even if the wing idea is pants, these coolers fit all sorts of places. Or a long furry tube one under and behind the bumper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddy4x4xfar Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 definatly somthing to consider cheers for that. also iv had a thought (whilst loosing sleep over it) of maybe fitting a bracket on the front x member an have it hang down and the air will hopfully come between the bumper and steering guard direct to the cooler . i was going to have a look today. ill defo consider them options as well . cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(EDIT - wish I could find the oil cooler fitting that bolts onto the R380, as I'd like to add a cooler but our tranny never had one so has the 'return' fitting in lieu of the tranny hose connector fitting.)
