Oil cooler mount mount pics

[panel]

Can someone post some pics of how the oil cooler is mounted to the case? What's the mount look like? Are they similar coolers to a Type 1?

Late (large-passage) Type III coolers are similar to doghouse Type I, but with the addition of a boss for the oil pressure switch. Both use the 021 117 151A seals: http://images.imcparts.net/webapp/wcs/s ... 17151A.jpg


If the case and cooler are both small-passage, the seals used are unique to Type III (although they are provided in the 111 198 007AF gasket set). 311 117 151 are also "flying-saucer" shaped, but they're thicker...with these seals only, spacers are fitted between the case and cooler. I cannot find a good picture of these ones, but they're over ¼" thick, and as mentioned come in the overhaul gasket set. There is also a 311 117 151A, which is thinner (same thickness as the 021 117 151A) but fits the small-passage cooler & case...it is often represented as being a "1970" part, perhaps because it was introduced that year for service replacement of the 311 117 151 (with the spacers omitted), but all `70 cases were large-passage and do not take this seal:

When using a large-passage cooler on a small-passage case, or vise-versa, adapter seals are needed. These (usually green) seals come two to a kit, P/N 111 198 029. No spacers are used for either configuration, the spacers provided in the kit are used only when adapting a small-passage Type I cooler to a large-passage case.

Type III cases have a long 6mm cooler stud and use two long m6x1.0 bolts inserted from the bottom up (best done before the LH cylinders are installed). There's a sheetmetal piece (#25 in this diagram) which slips over the case "ears" before inserting the bolts, IIRC it only fits with the small-passage/thick-seal spacers in place; it's not necessary regardless:

Universal cases come with m8x1.25 threads and 8mm "ear-holes" for the cooler hardware. The hardware kit made for these cases includes a long step-stud and spacer sleeves which are used to reduce the holes' I.D. down for the 6mm bolts.

Ancient Type III (pre`62) used the same "wedding band" cooler seals as small-passage Type I, 111 117 151.

Is there a 90 degree mount like in a T1 application or does it just bolt horizontal to the case and not adapter?

...does it just bolt horizontal to the case and not adapter?

Errr, yes. Honest, if there was an adapter I would've mentioned it in the above dissertation.
The cooler mounts horizontally, out over the LH cylinders.
