[urq] urq oil cooler - i have one but...

[Martin Pajak]

Agreed, I had a set of braided hoses made up for $80 and that included the
Aeroquip fittings.

However the oil cooler shrouds on ebay are plastic and pretty flimsy.  The
original stuff was fibreglass.  I have couple of the original units (used
and new) in case anyone is interested.

Cheers
