For a car gently used used in a temperate climate I think your number 4 is =
the correct answer.

With a cooling system in good condition these cars usually don't need an oi=
l cooler even in the southwest USA.

If it's a vintage part there may be a racing enthusiast that might pay well=
 for it.

Subject: [Healeys] Oil Cooler?


My nephew=92s BJ8 came with a boot full of mixed blessings from its PO. Amo=
ngst all the manuals and stuff were two boxes containing an oil cooler and =
mounting kit. NOS.(Actually, these items dated back quite a while=852 or 3 =
POs back).

So, he gave them to me as he wasn=92t remotely interested in fitting them. =
I took them back to the UK and determined that I might fit the cooler =93on=
e day=94. 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 t=
o 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 radiato=
r mounts. Designed for their cooler but I think mine can be shoehorned in.

Has anyone tried these brackets?

How easy/hard to fit?

  1.  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?

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



Any thoughts?

Simon
