I'm looking for a source making a bolt on oil cooler adapter fitting. It should bolt to the engine block in the stock location with AN-5 or 6 male output allowing plumbing an aftermarket cooler.
Thanks,
Tony Moore

Try this link. Either straight or 90degree -8AN.

Just bought some of these for my Hayabusa conversion in a Radical. Look like nice pieces.
They are -8, not -6, BTW.

On the straight fitting you have to start both of the bolts at the same time, and run both bolts in simultaneously. If you don't then the heads of the bolts hit the threads on the fitting. I tried to fit the biggest fitting possible, so things got tight.
Also a dab of grease can help hold the O-ring in place while fiddling with everything.
One more thing, he has a steel shifter arm, for like 10$. If you need to weld up a custom one.

one of the big issues with putting a M/C motor in a car is that you get limited cooling of the block from air moving through the engine compartment. The stock coolers only run a portion of the oil through the cooler, not 100%.
Most of the DSR installations block the oil ports that you are looking to use and then use a sandwich plate to remote mount the oil filter and run 100% of the oil through the cooler.
Anyone running these fittings and getting addequite cooling of the oil?

I had a look for his shifter arm... can you give us a link?Quote:

You will have to call Peter D's about the steel arm, sorry there is no link to give you.
Here is the link. Peter is a decent vender. Give him a try. Thanks to Dustin and Sean for pointing him out.
