Oil cooler bypass
I've acquired a landrover 101 oil pump cover so I can reposition the oil filter to get clearance for a bigger radiator on my hotrod. The 101 pump cover has ports for oil cooler pipes and although currently blanked off I've been told I'll need to fit a bypass between the ports.
Has anyone done this and if so what size and type of fittings did you use and where did you get them?
Thanks
