Hey guys, just in the middle of trying to get my V mount sorted, and noticed that the factory oil coolers hardlines and hoses are right in the way where I would essentially want to run the radiator hoses. is there any way of getting these out of the way without having to mess about the fittings and braided lines etc?

Ill post a pic soon when I can.

thanks

 

Do you have single or dual oil coolers?

I have dual oil coolers, what you can do is just unbolt the brackets that hold them on the sides of the chassis and it'll give you some extra slack to push them back and forth a bit. And also un-bolt the pieces that hold the 2 lines together. I had to do that when I re-positioned my radiator for my FMIC to push them back a little. However it's not a lot if space regardless, so if you need to make a big change, I don't think you can do it with the original lines.

 

yeah its PITA its right in the location where the hoses for the Vmount needs to go, the only other thing I can think of is to modify the outlets of the radiator so it goes OVER the bar and above the hardlines,

 

I had to take my original lines to a local hydraulic shop where they took the original fittings off my lines and welded them on to some braided lines.
