DIY: Oil Cooler (scratch built install, lottsa pics).....>.

Nice work. One thing - you mounted the cooler connections on the bottom instead of the top, which seems atypical compared to the other installs we've seen pics of here.

Nice work. One thing - you mounted the cooler connections on the bottom instead of the top, which seems atypical compared to the other installs we've seen pics of here. There was some debate about this earlier, the upside of your arrangement being that you can drain the oil on changes easier, and the advantage of the 'connections up' method being that it retains oil to get things flowing faster on cold start. I'm guessing it's because of the thermo sandwich plate that that's no longer an issue in your setup, hence going for the 'better drain on oil changes' route?
