Oil Cooler

Any ideas about oil coolers for an Aerovee engine? Possibly something a little bigger than what's required for an 80hp donk in order to increase capacity and help with engine cooling. Do they need to be custom made or is there someone who can supply off the shelf models in various sizes and configurations? Anyone in SA who can supply in line filters?

Secondly, is one able to use the flexible armoured oil hose type lines for fuel lines? Any other suggestions?

Only used them for coolers for my car, but they have been mentioned a few times on this forum, and Avcom:

They have a few standard coolers, or can custom make one to your requirements.

In the same boat. Hardly home long enough to change my jocks before heading off again. Tempted to find someone to help me complete her while I'm away in exchange for a share.
