Re: Lurker OrrieG Progress Pics
Lazy weekend. Worked on the trans cooler. In 85 I got a cooling condenser out of a small HVAC unit and had a contractor friend braze on some barb fittings. I ran high temp hoses to the trans, it worked fine. I decided to move it to the frame rail under the passenger floor well, I figure it is large enough to work there. If it heats up I left room for a fan. Took about 2 hours to straighten out all the fins, a couple more to decide how to plumb it (flare vs. ??) ended up decidiing to extend the 3/8" copper and use the barbs with short hoses at the trans. That will give me some flexibility. I made up the frame mounts, it will mount to the top or the frame when I pull the cab for final blocking.
