Front/bumper mounted oil cooler

[wachuko]

Is there a bolt on solution for a front mounted oil cooler for the RSR replicas being built??

I would like to remove the stock oil cooler under the fender and put a front mounted unit behind the new bumper.



Something that comes with the cooler and the lines to connect to the stock hard lines...

Thank you!

Sorry, I posted the wrong link... I can't find it but I think Pelican carries the Elephant Racing front mounted oil cooler kits. I believe the kits come with the lines from the oil cooler to where the trombone connects to the oil lines.
Hope this helps.

I have a factory front 930s cooler and it uses rubber lines that connects directly to the lines to the rear. I think yoiu can actually use another cooler in the fender.

Actually you posted the correct link, the front mount kit is incorrectly described but the picture is correct.

the PEL-BBKT3 oil cooler is a front mount which includes the oil lines to the stock hardline. You would need to fab mounts for it.

theere are several different sizes and configurations for these coolers not listed in the Pelican page

Rob Fusi aka Muffinman did a nice writup on his install of one of the larger ones.

Excellent. Thank you all!!

I will sent a note and ask for the correct part number for the size of cooler I am looking for. The one in the Pelican ad seems to be the smaller one.

Bill, thank you for Rob's link.
