Anyone out there put an aftermarket oil cooler on a type 4 motor? The vechicle in question is a 81 Vanagon, Cailifornia edition. Bus Boys recommeds using a remote filter mount then into the thermostat and then cooler.

I'm wondering on how the hoses would be run from the adaptor that replaces the filter. It seems that they would be run awfully close to the exhaust or exposed under the vechicle for a little while - neither gives me a good feeling. With the catylitic convertor on the CA model right next to the filter, there's seems to be little precious room.

(Please P-mail me, I getting the messages off the web right now)
