Jim,

Funny that you should ask; I installed my spin-on adapter and
oil cooler this weekend.

The "natural" place for the oil cooler is in front of the radiator.
Before installation, I was delighted to find that the radiator
protection plate was pre-drilled to accept the oil cooler tabs!
I do not know if this is a standard feature of the plate, but it may
be that one of the previous owners of my car did have a oil cooler 
installed, and it was removed before the car came into my possession.

Rather than buy the kit as you did, I bought the components
seperately, and had a local shop fabricate the s/s braided hoses.
I used a rather expensive thermostat/bypass valve from Pegasus, because
I prefer to have my oil lines bolt to the adapter, rather than use
hose clamps as does the valve sold by the Big 3.

In short, your hoses from Moss should allow the cooler to be fitted
in front of the radiator.  If not, call them and ask for an
explanation.
