    Oil Cooler Parts List

    So, I think my next project is going to be installation of an oil cooler, seeing as how summer's coming on real quick here in Phoenix. I was planning on using a GS1150 filter cover, and using the ports on the either side of the filter cover. A nice little Setrab cooler has currently gotten my attention, and I'll probably pick one up in the near future. The stainless brake line install went so well, I'm going to go ahead and do my own cooler lines as well. What AN size is appropriate for the cooler? And does anyone know what size banjo bolt/adapter I'll need to adapt the ports next to the filter cover? Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give!

    EDIT:

    Is there a minimum numbers of rows I should look for in the cooler? And what type of line is ok? Would the Speed-flex stuff from AN Plumbing be ok? It'd be overkill as far as strength goes, but it wouldn't hurt oil flow or anything, would it?

            recently installed a lockhart on my EZ. The fittings / hose where it meets the oil filter cover is already leaking.


            Any suggestions for some better hardware around the nipple.

                The cooler I have has -8 AN lines on it with an earles cooler. I used Auto flex lines cheaper and still good for 1000 psi so plenty of safety margin
                Swivel seal hose ends. -8 is 1/2" inner diameter hose
