Oil cooler placement - How have you done yours?

I have a type 4 engine with a Porsche fan conversion and rather then modify the body of the bug to accept the standard oil cooler position, I would rather place the cooler elsewhere either remotley or within the shroud itself.

Has anybody got some tips + pics of the set ups you guys are using, what cooler you're using and where you have it mounted. It's been suggested that a remote cooler even with an electriic fan would be up to the job of cooling the oil suitabley when the car is stationary.

Is it possibe to mount an oil cooler inside the shroud itself to benifit from some of the ram air generated from the fan? or would this just block the air cooling the cylinders?

Remember, pictures are worth a thousand words!

Thanks
