I'm ready to purchase now if the product is right. Maybe we could look at a group buy if we all decide on a similar solution?
Hey mate,

I have spoken to Pete about what would be required to fabricate a workable solution for our excessive oil temps.

We are pretty much on the same page and as I suspected an oil cooler kit comprising quality components ain't gonna' be cheap.

Unfortunately a quality core, thermostat, oil lines and fittings etc. are worth a few bucks and them some.

Pete has already priced up the key components and to be honest the money charged for the quality kits currently on the market, is not that outrageous.

However with some engineering knowhow and a few contacts in the industry I suspect Pete can fab up a kit that is top shelf, whilst retailing it at a price that will keep the Ebenezer Scrooges happy.
