Hi Adam:

I am interested in how you did this in the 81 Westy. Especially with the sandwich plate. Aren't the oil hoses close to the heat exchanger? If not, how do you route them? Where did you place the oil cooler?
I thought about placing it forward of the transmission near where my A/C evaporator is.

Do you have any pictures?

Regards,
