I installed one in Las Vegas when I lived there. Dropped the temp about 10
degrees.

Subject: [Healeys] Oil Cooler?

 

My nephew's BJ8 came with a boot full of mixed blessings from its PO.
Amongst all the manuals and stuff were two boxes containing an oil cooler
and mounting kit. NOS.(Actually, these items dated back quite a while.2 or 3
POs back).

So, he gave them to me as he wasn't remotely interested in fitting them. I
took them back to the UK and determined that I might fit the cooler "one
day". Well, as the car is up on a stand with the radiator out, it seems that
the day may have arrived. Minimal amount of work compared to having to do it
from scratch? Now:-

1.      For someone who lives in a temperate climate and who seldom goes all
that fast in his Healey, how much benefit is there in a cooler?
2.      The Denis Welch brackets look pretty good. Fit onto the lower
radiator mounts. Designed for their cooler but I think mine can be
shoehorned in.

Has anyone tried these brackets?

How easy/hard to fit?

3.      I will not be cutting any holes. The cooler would sit in front of
the radiator in line with the lower mounts. 

Is it a waste of time to put the cooler in there without a dedicated hole?

Will I gain as much heat by blocking some airflow to the radiator as I lose
with the cooler?

4.      Seems like an oil cooler may just be a waste of effort???

 

Any thoughts?

Simon
