You need braided pipes, screw on fittings, sandwich plate and filter location plate etc etc. Kits arnt that expensive now when new, its also not a good idea to use a kit from a scrapyard, you never know whats in side.

NEVER fit a 2nd hand oil cooler, particurly if you don't know its history, you cannot clean them out 100%, even new ones require cleaning,& you'd
be suprised what comes out of them.
An engine rebuild will be alot more expensive than the price of a new cooler.
