has anyone sourced a supplier for an oil cooler for an A-series? it has to include the sandwich plate, braided lines don't matter but it would be nice.

A Permacool from Rocket is what I went with.

I went with a oil cooler from SWR and has has a sandwich plate, remote filter location, and the (i think they use) Serco core and lines.

Wasnt the cheapest but good qaulity, I havnt recevied the gear yet as it comes with the motor, but will provide a pic when it does.

what does the oil cooler conect up 2? do you block the oil filter housing off? or does it connect into the oil filter housing?

Silly me!
I checked out Ebay and i seen a GReddy style universal remote oil cooler kit, it certaily looks the part but, i wonder about the quality though?
check it out here.

Check out any Davis Craig supplier. They will be able to supply what you need. I know that these guys aren't strickly automotive but give Cummins Australia a call and check out what Fleetguard can offer. I have had great sucess with Davis Craig and Fleetguard units in the past on both motor, transmission and diff cooling. They work well even in areas of less than perfect air flow. I have had them incorperated with the dry sump / remote filtration fit outs I have done. Be Warned! Shop around for the best price they can be a bit on the expensive side but there are still bargains out there, stick with the bigger parts suppliers Stevo with you being in Newcastle give Driveline Services Australia a go. I believe they use Davis Craig units with the Mark Williams diffs. I am sure that someone will be able to help if you have no luck there get them to contact their Brendale branch and source the infomation.

thanks for the info! i'll try and get in contact with them early next week.
