For those two hoses, you just have to connect them to the cooler and the sandwhich plate right? or is it like the hose that connects to the right side of the cooler has to be connect to the right side of the sandwhich plate?

thanks for your help, but i have another question, I saw there are holes drilled on the bottom of the cooler already, can i just use those holes, or do i have to have a bracket made. I'm asking this because I have never make a bracket before, and if i can just use those holes on the cooler it will make the job a lot easier.

what are the dimensions for that bracket, how thick is it, and what material is it made of? I'm asking this because I can't find any metal plate lying around at my house, so i have to order one.

It looks like he just used some aluminum, not sure how thick. Roughly 11x5" (it's as wide as the cooler)
I'm sure something 1/8" or 1/4" thick would be more than enough. |

I am basically trying to determine if I should spend the $60 on a Tru-Cool or $220 on a Setrab cooler. I can't really find any hard evidence on which one is "better," and can really only make assumptions based on what little I know about both companies. I know Setrab is highly regarded in the industry, so their brand name carries a bit of weight. They are also produced on a much smaller scale than the DANA/Long built coolers. I think this would be the reason for much of the price discrepancy, but I'm not sure. I'm willing to pay more for better quality and performance, but my question is... is that really necessary? I apologize for this nonsense -- just trying to figure out which one I should buy. |
what you need is a remote thermostat that by passes the extra cooler under 200F, 200F and above the thermostat activates and routes the oil through the cooler. They are available. Perma-cool.com don't know the price, but will save a lot of heartache down the road.

Has anyone had any problems with the fitting between the elbows and the Tru-Cool oil cooler?
My friend and I did the mod and everything was fine, but after the road test the was some bad leaking around the elbows. We pulled them off and found that the treads were stripped off the elbows. I think that we might have been shipped the wrong size elbows. While he was installing the elbows he complained the they were tight, but he thought it was to prevent leaks. Luckly the oil cooler threading doesn't look damaged. |
It looks to me like Modshack used some plumbers tape there to ensure a good seal.

Thanks for the info. I think he over torqued them. He was cranking on them pretty hard. I should be getting some moe fittings in today.
