    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

So, I think my next project is going to be installation of an oil cooler, seeing as how summer's coming on real quick here in Phoenix. I was planning on using a GS1150 filter cover, and using the ports on the either side of the filter cover. A nice little Setrab cooler has currently gotten my attention, and I'll probably pick one up in the near future. The stainless brake line install went so well, I'm going to go ahead and do my own cooler lines as well. What AN size is appropriate for the cooler? And does anyone know what size banjo bolt/adapter I'll need to adapt the ports next to the filter cover? Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give!

EDIT:

Is there a minimum numbers of rows I should look for in the cooler? And what type of line is ok? Would the Speed-flex stuff from AN Plumbing be ok? It'd be overkill as far as strength goes, but it wouldn't hurt oil flow or anything, would it?
