Spiky 37 Posted December 15, 2007 i've never fitted one of these so i assumed i removed the OE water/oil cooler (like on cossie's) and put new thermostat controlled sandwich plate and job done?? :? :? but i cant, if you look at the pic below one is the OE bolt that holds the old cooler on, which has male fittings each end yet the new one has male one end female the other, it's as if i just attach the new sandwich plate to te OE one and just not use the water pipes :? :? or do i have the wrong fitting???? or just being stupid :? :?

309Dimma 0 Posted December 15, 2007 I had the same problem, until I found out that the upper "bolt" in your pic isn't one but two. You can take them apart and use one of them. If I remember right... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

steve@cornwall 100 Posted December 15, 2007 Isn't the water cooled - (or heated?) one usaully used with a remote filter bolted to the bellhousing? I'd have thought 1 or the other, unless I've got the wrong end of the stick, you're looking at running a cooler AND a warmer???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
309Dimma 0 Posted December 15, 2007 Now I know how I did it! Just unscrew the thread on the right on the upper bolt. Then use it as an extension to the lower bolt. If you don't understand what I mean. Look what differs the two bolts. The thread on the right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
309Dimma 0 Posted December 15, 2007 It looked like this when I was done: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spiky 37 Posted December 15, 2007 i understand but 2 issues 1, it really dont look like it will seperate( thats not to say it wont) 2, i got no way of splitting them..lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
309Dimma 0 Posted December 15, 2007 It's thread lock on them... I used a pipe-wrench (I don't really know the english word) with a cloth in it, not to ruin the thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miles 331 1 Cars Posted December 15, 2007 Easy, As all the Iron blocks with the heat exchanger fitted use the fitting as in your picture and is one complete item, On the alloy blocks they still had the thread insert in the block, You can buy these from Pug for a couple of quid, If you need the part number drop me a PM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
