[TR] TR3A cooling, more

[David Lylis]

I think there is no disagreement on the functionality of the stock system.
I added an oil cooler to this car and I believe that it is contributing to
the issue.  Keep in mind that I am not overheating and the car idles well
for long periods at an acceptable temperature.  The car runs a little hot at
speed and that is what I am coping with.  I made a spoiler last night of 18
gauge steel sprayed black and put a black plastic "door ding guard" around
the edge to finish it off.  When I mounted the oil cooler I welded brackets
to the chassis which gave me an excellent connection point for the spoiler.
I just tested it and it has dropped the temp by 5-10 degrees.  I am a happy
guy.
