After seeing everyones comments regarding an oil cooler im having a look to see if i can sort out even a cheap oil cooler set up for the trackday in october, then after the trackday and when iv got more funds available il purchase some higher quality bits and things like a thermostatic sandwhich plate.

Its great to hear ur guys feedback and advice, as iv been trying to work out what sort of stuff il need for the trackday and more importantly whats a necessity so the car makes it the whole day and hopefully remains in one peace so i can drive home, which is from castle combe to colchester haha.

Question again for you guys i was refitting the inlet manifold back on the car and as i had the space was trying to picture the routing and location for an oil cooler and lines etc. But my 6 still has the twin fans in front of the rad so i couldnt see any where to place the oil cooler if i do get one in time. So is there a way to run the twin fans and an oil cooler or do you need to ditch one fan and run a single setup?

Oh yeh i can make some brackets easy, thats not a problem. Just wasnt sure if there would be any issues having the cooler sat that far forward. Ok well i was looking at getting an unbranded 16 row cooler of ebay haha might regret it. And then il buy some metre lengths of braided oil lines. And then just need to sort out a sandwhich plate amd then some fixings with one end being push on for the oil lines to keep the whole thing cheap. Nothing final yet just an idea to try and put together a cheap kit. As i havent found any kits already made for less than about £140 and thats for a 13 row coolers. Extra for bigger cooler.

I actually bought this and the oil lines were too long and needed cutting down. I did use it with a Mocal thermostatic sandwhich plate though

Hi mate. No issues at all other than having to cut the lines to length. But in my book that is better than having to extend them. No leaks, I guess the plate will fit OK but as said I used a Mocal Thermo plate. And yes M20 as supplid in this kit.

One thing to bear in mind is the M20 adaptor supplied needs a 1" size deep socket to do it up

25.4mm. From experience I know 25mm wont fit.

Exactly that, as it's an American product you will need a 1" deep socket.

Ok, well they use imperial measurements which are more commonly used in the USA these days than here, so hence it's a 1" deep socket which you need.

naah, 30mm is far too big, youd probably cover half the holes

Welshpug think your getting your sizes mixed up . I messured a M20 bolt at work the other day and its 30mm. Sounds big but to put it in perspective an m12 bolt/nut is 19mm.

I think I could get the ratchet on the end, just, but had no room to turn it. I am running the modine and standard manifold. Just enough room to get the oil fiter on and off because of the upward angle of the block.

Maybe my socket is deeper than yours
