[Fot] Oil cooler yes or no?

[rkramer3 at 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.

I’m having a tough time getting access to the hoses on the oil cooler adapter plate, it’s such a tight fit and I forgot to attach them before installing the engine.
It’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.
