Plumbing went well, only thing left to do is ...

Motor oil cooler mounts are now welded on ..

The cooler has the same mounts for bolts on the bottom side ..
Was going to come off the frame rails with steel straps to put them to use ..

But don't see a need cause the two top mounts has it nailed on really good ..

It'll rattle that cooler to and fro eventually causing it to fail. Add the lower mounts.

As much as you build stuff to really be solid, leaving the oil cooler loose on the bottom doesn't jive with anything else you've done on this truck

Right-On ...

The cooler has no shake whatsoever bolted to the top mounts ...
Thought that adding mounts to the bottom would be overkill .. ??

Glad you jumped in with your comment ...

Just the right amount of kill by adding the lower mounts

Using spacers to delete the rotators is going down ..
A bit of a chore cause the guides needed some meat removed from the O.D. ..

Just about done with the lower oil cooler mounts ..
A little more welding and dressing down the welds, some rattle can paint ..
Should hang tough till I run it up on a stump !!

This is what I came up with ..

Could have done a better job dressing down the weld if I spent more time on it ... But, it's under the truck and won't be seen ...

I'm calling it 'Good Enough' !
