After seeing you front runners with your gucci oil coolers I had to have one. So now I have my shiny new second hand oil cooler. But how do I fix the bypass spring and what's the best location for the cooler. I've got two mounts on my from cylinder valve cover but the cooler would be in contact with the engine and suffer vibration, surly that's not cool.

Thats why they use Antivibration mounts to attach it to the Valve cover, part 6 in the attache pic, two required

Or I use two rubberised 'P' clips from the horizontal frame tube just below the reg/rec. But my cooler is from a VW.

Bypass spring goes under the filter hexagon stud, there is a raised cast portion on the crankcase for the spring to react against when tightening the filter stud.

Depending on the spring you may need to trim it to locate against its arrester.

All going well with the fittment. Just need to acquire some unions to connect the oil pipes to the radiator.
