How To Modify Side Case For Oil Cooler...

<< < (3/4) > >>

FT500R:
It has been a while since the beginning of the topic. Are there potentially new insights into the whole oil cooler fitment?
Thinking about putting an oil cooler on the FT racer but have to figure out plumbing.
Since rubber lines and hose clamps are not allowed I would have to go for AN fittings or Banjo's.
Problem with those is that they require a 10mm hole to fit in and looking at the way it was installed in your example J, I am sceptical there would be enough meat for that.

murdo:
With a HOT summer coming up here in Aus I have also been thinking along the lines of fitting a cooler to my FT500. Are there any suggestions regarding the size of the cooler required or will any that fit do. And is it worth putting in a pressure and temp gauge to keep an eye on things?

Not that I'm aware of.

Not sure, but I believe you may be correct.

FT500R:
Thanks J.
Very interesting file.

Seems like an Oilcooler is not top of the priority list for now ;)
