Full Remote Oil Cooler Kit
Posted: Thu May 31, 2018 8:50 am
Hi there, Marc here from Perth.
After recently rebuilding my 1960 356B normal motor, pretty much to Duane Spencer's suggestions in his great little book, I have discovered the limitations of doubling my horsepower, with a new aluminium oil cooler, and our ambient summer temperatures.
I want to put a remote oil filter on, to increase my qty of oil, and naturally to actually filter it all, in my rear wheel well. Hoping the extra litre, running through the pipes, and the filter itself will lower my oil temps. I am strugling to find a vendor that will actually sell me everything in one kit. I really would like the type of remote oil adaptor that has pressure relief, and does not require drilling and tapping my 3rd piece. It sounds like every 356 owner and his dog has done this type of thing, but I am struggling to source all parts from one place. My understanding is i need the following:
Adaptor plate.
Oil lines with fittings
Heat resistant sleeves for above, for where they pass over the Heat exchangers/flapper boxes.
Oil filter holder/mount or whatever the thing the spin on filter actually spins on to, that the lines connect to.
Whilst hunting for unicorns, I may as well say I'd also love it to have a mechanical tacho drive, but will convert my tacho if (when) necessary.
Due to my location on the globe, and my 12 hour time difference with most of you, actually talking to vendors, does have its own challenges.
Any suggestions/advice welcome.
