Hey guys,

Can I use a thermostatic sandwich plate from an old oil cooler setup here or do I need GTM's inline thermostat due to the way the filter is relocated? (it seems insanely expensive for the GTM line kit since I think it's just a Mocal thermostat)

Yeah, they quoted me for the lines + inline thermostat.. 455. Seemed steep for just some lines, fittings and a mocal thermostat. Figured.. use the sandwich plate and their line kit w/o thermostat, if I can, but I'm not sure how the line setup is to begin with. Looks like I'd have to cap some fittings? Can't tell. Might just give up and order it all thru gtm.

My oil cooler solution, this is the long filter. I will be going back to the standard hight one! It will not stick out below the frame.
