Re: [Fot] Oil cooler yes or no?

[<rkramer3@austin.rr.com>]

I am also in Texas and I wouldn't run without a cooler because of the hot temps 
in general and the added benefit of the extra oil in the system. The lines that 
come with the kits on TR3's are very difficult to manipulate as you have 
noticed. Some come with BSP (British Std. Pipe) fittings. Why not switch out to 
an AN setup and use a cut to fit hose set up and route the hoses over the top 
of the inner fender. You can get the push on hose and fittings in black and it 
looks pretty nice even on period correct cars.

Iâ??m having a tough time getting access to the hoses on the oil cooler adapter 
plate, itâ??s such a tight fit and I forgot to attach them before installing 
the engine.
Itâ??s a huge pain to take off the oil filter plate with the motor installed!

Wondering if the oil cooler is even necessary. I race in California where it is 
over 90 degrees some of the time.
