Oh I forgot, I'm not sure if I can get you a decent photo but I will give it a shot tomorrow.

I'm not sure why you guys want to reinvent the wheel. If the kit is too steep here are instructions & parts list for making your own 2nd cooler out of a stock one.
running 2 aeroquip lines across the front behind the grill isn't a big deal

Bill, Today I pulled the front bumper in preperation for the added oil cooler. If I go with the side cooler I may lose the brake cooling duct.
How did you route your brake duct with the new cooler in place?

What kind of temps are you guys getting on the track? Even summer events her in the SW, I'm still seeing normal ranges with the factory setup....

I have some more work to do but wanted to post my progress. At least from my perspective pictures could be helpful to others, they always are to me.
I moved the AC condenser inboard and welded a tab on the platform flange to secure the bottom. Having the condenser at this new location will allow for the new oil cooler to be where the condenser was previously and still be able to utilize the fan. I am using a stock cooler on the back side of the condenser. Hoping to have this completed by next weekend and will post more pictures then.

And the existing modified fan shrouding around the new cooler. I will need to fabricate additional shrouding to close the gap between the AC condenser and the chassis.

Probably a little late But I recall a 'Lister installing a fan override switch on his existing cooler. Hit the switch as he hit the track. This worked for him.
