As title realy. Im after suggestions for a compleat oil cool kit for my classic. Im after a bigish cooler and wanted to mount it at the front just under my slam panel so maybe a realy wide but not so tall cooler. If any one has any idea what kit and where to get it from that would be great. Also if any one has any pics they would like to post i would love to see where you fitted yours.

Just a tip; be very careful with remote oil coolers. They are fine if fitted really well, but I've seen fires started, oil leaks all over and engine failures as a result. The best type use braided hoses and correct aero fittings so you can route them really well.
Other than that, consider a large modine if it's a road car, the Version 7 one is bigger and goes right in there.

Thanks for the advice Alan. A mate of mine will fit it for me and i trust him 100% to do it right. He did my full build and fuel system wich is on braided and aero. Any idea what kit i should be loocking for or where to get it. I want more cooling than a bigger modine is capable of and feel it is a must when runing 500+ and surrounded by fast A roads. I want to do some more 1/4 mile stuff this year and maybe scooby shoot out. Not been since 2007 and have a bigger engine so just want to bring it all in line.

Didn't know that, going to have to try and find one while the engine is out as a nice easy change

Any other thoughts from any one. I wanted to try and find one that would bit between my FMIC and rad but sit right under the slam panel.

Radtech do a nice little kit using braided hoses. Possibly Pace, as they list various cooler options.

redace

Never been a big fan of the pace products, the radtech looks like a nice little kit but a bit smaller than i had in mind. Might give them a call and see if they do bigger cooler core's

Advanced automotive do nice kits, mocal etc. make sure you fire sleeve the braided hoses though.
