Gentlepersons,

        I have a 13-row full-width Mocal oil cooler that I
just got from Pegasus, together with sandwich plate and hoses
from TriumphTune, for my Spitfire 1500 (with slanted radiator).

        What is the canonical location for the
cooler?  I would imagine that just in front of and even with
the bottom of the water radiator would be the right place.
Does anyone know where the factory unit was supposed to go?
Are there perhaps ready-made mounting holes in the radiator
surround?

        Simple sheet metal fab is not a problem.  Triumphtune sent
along some steel strips with a plethora of holes in them.
I'm not sure exactly what to do with these.

        Also, I have a supplementary rocker oil feed hose with
a banjo fitting.  There appears to be this pipe plug in the
cylinder head at the left rear, mounted at a skew angle to
just about anything.  Is this where the oil feed goes

                                Soon to be impervious to wear,
                                Tim Drabik
