beehive oil cooler conversion

orion84gsl · 10-16-2009, 10:18 AM

I mounted mine using two pieces of 3 inch angle iron. The bolts attached to the two front tie down loops come out, and I used them to bolt the angle iron to them. There's a little bubble on the tie down loops that had to be ground down. I then bent the mounting ears on the oil cooler to lay over top of the iron and used two bolts per side. The tough part is getting the lines to go around the front crossmember tube. Where I put the cooler the two hose bungs sit only a couple inches in front of that tube so putting the lines straight in isn't possible. I had to use 4 45* AN fittings to get everything lined up. Otherwise haven't had any problems with it.
