Cool Oil Coolers
Hi all,
I am currently fitting an alloy radiator and the location of the power steering cooler with its plumbing over the top of the radiator is less than ideal and to be honest, unattractive. Searched but can’t find an ideal alternative.
I noticed kits that reposition the power steering reservoir but I suspect theses still use the stock cooler pipe. Are oil coolers universal and interchangeable transmission/engine/power steering?
Any suggestions and advice would be very welcome and thank you in advance.

YES !
Simple answer, you just need the right unions to suit the hose diameter used in the system, oil, fuel, PAS oil, transmission, etc.

Thanks dunx. 
Will this be an ideal solution.
MOCAL 16 row 115mm matrix oil cooler with 1/2 inch BSP fittings.
Take it I will just need the BSP 1/2 inch adaptor for my stock 1/2 power steering cooler hose.

Enquired about the Mocal 16 Row 115mm cooler for use with power steering and was advised against this option as the system runs high pressure.
I have since noticed Mocal manufacture a laminova that seems an ideal solution for power steering and transmission cooling.
Anyone running one or could advice me further.
