Oil cooler placement - How have you done yours?

[Steve C]

Hi

I just ran the lines down the pan under heater channel bolts. The cooler is one I had left over from another car, its no the ideal size as its size doesn't allow it to be mounted square to the airflow.

I used to work in a performance VW workshop in the 70s and every one of our HP air cooled VW motors used a similar setup, a 16 row cooler on milder motors and twin 16 rows on bigger motors.

I used the stock dog house oil cooler block, drilled and tapped to take fittings. I fitted a fan switch in the dog house cooler block, it was supposed to turn on at 97c and off at 92c, it screwed up somehow and was turning the fan on way to early.
