Hey guys,
Im looking at installing a oil cooler to my EL falcon and my parents EF falcon.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Im looking for something like a kit where its made for EF/EL falcons so i can pretty much bolt it.
My XR had a PWR unit which was installed by the gearbox builder and had brackets made up as well.
I noticed at supercheap today a oil cooler kit which was universal but had cable ties to go through the radiator which i dont like. |

Personally I'm anti the cable tie method.
I've got a PWR cooler on mine with brackets I made up.
However, Repco do list on there computers and can order in a specific EF tranny cooler - it's an aftermarket company who made the OEM Fraud ones. They come with the EF specific brackets etc. Bit over $100.00 though. |

So is that $100.00 complete with lines and fittings?
Want a good unit for both cars.
Was quoted by a tranny place $250.00 supplied and fitted, and im sure he said it was the ford unit as well. |

I want to aviod pulling the bar off so i can fit the cooler, but maybe i can get a hand from my brother to do it with me.
Im sure that taking the top cover where the bonnet lach is you can get decent access and install the cooler. |

Comes with some universal rubber hose, and a metal barb line that fits into thetranny cooler in the radiator. As I said above it's over $100.00 and it still includes the brackets and bolts. |

| on my ef theres another dust cover below the top cover which blocks access to where you want to center the cooler. I have taken the bar off a couple of times by myself, dont need to raise the car. The first time it takes a while until you know the location of all the nuts and screws that hold it. |
