Custom Oil coolers
December 14, 2009 04:45PM
Anyone have a line on decent place to have custom oil coolers built? Bar and plate core, with possible billet end tanks? Looking for something more rugged then the standard tube and fin stuff.

What are you going to do with it, mount it to the bottom of the skidplate?

Not quite just dont like the construction of the others, and a custom one will be easier to mount in the paticular location.

Hey man, long time.
You should have come out and had a beer or three with us all on Saturday...

Now come on and show and tell, show just why you have to have custom when there is such a variety of configurations already.

Just want one like that to fit the rest of the build. Ive had the other styles and they just seem cheaply made. I think im just going to order a core fromb Bell, then machine up some 6061 bar stalk in the mill and build my own.

Did you check with Fluidyne? They seem to have the style you're looking for.

The bigger 10an is for oil, the smaller 6an is for power steering.
