How to securely fit an Engine Oil Cooler?

[millzy_88]

When fitting an engine oil cooler behind a side vent in a front bar how do you mount it? The top can be mounted solid, as there is plenty of solid metalwork around that area which can be accessed with a custom bracket but there is nothing at the bottom to fix it to. Anyone know how you would go about securing the bottom, as I'm not too keen on mounting to the front bar itself.

Bend a piece of small flat bar so it connects to the bottom the can be fixed a bit behind the top mounting

Can you not mount it to the radiator?

dont solid mount an oil cooler... make sure you have rubber bushes ..

No room as i already have a power steering cooler in the only gap near the radiator, and in my head a flat bar bracket connecting the bottom of the cooler to the solid metal above the cooler is redundant really as it is still essentially only secured at the top if you know what i mean.

Hadn't thought of runbber bushes but now you mention it that is a good idea as well.

Why exactly? Looking to fit one in future, and reason for rubber mounts would be helpful.

I'm assuming it's because they will absorbs bumps and vibrations?
