Jim,
The MKII and the SV oil coolers aren't the same. The SV cooler has a single
cooling row whereas the MKII has a double row. The MKII cooler looks a lot like
two SV coolers plumbed together. On the MKII cooler inlet and outlet are at the
same end. Oil comes into the top (bottom?) row, goes to the end, and loops back
through the bottom (top?)row. On the SV cooler oil goes in one end and comes
out the other. I think that the mounts for both coolers are the same. If you
have your own hoses made up it would be easy to hook up a SV cooler, but you
would have half the cooling of the MKII cooler. If you use OEM hoses to connect
the cooler it will have to be a MKII cooler with inlet and outlet on the same
end (driver's left).

Subject: [Tigers] Mk II / Alpine 5 oil coolers
Hello,
Are the Tiger Mk II and the Alpine Series 5 oil coolers the same item or
perhaps slightly different versions of the same thing?
Got to thinking, it would be doubtful that Rootes would make two
completely different units for the two cars...but maybe. Anybody know?
And if they are essentially the same, could one get an Alpine 5 O.C. and
make it into a Mk II piece?
