I thought some might benefit from these pics of my oil cooler install. I had tried the other more common arrangements, but it really looked like eventually I'd be dealing with a cracked baffle. I figure that cooler, when full, is a pretty heavy item and I'd really like to avoid having it shaking all over the place. I'm very pleased with the way it all came out, including the lines. The plenum was made by first carving the piece out of plain ol' styrofoam and then wrapping it with electrical tape. I waxed the outside and put on several layers of glass. Once hard, I poured acetone in and the foam dissolved. It fits absolutely perfect. The cooler mounts are made of .063 angle with nutplates and number 12 adel clamps. If anybody wants more info, like exact measurements of the oil lines, or the specific fittings used, just ask. Oh, and before I get dinged for missing cotters or nylocks in the engine bay, any hardware you see is for fitting purposes only.
