Re: R21 Cooler system pictures ?

I am pretty sure that all these pumps are the same one with different labels. Tilton, Mocal, the one from Pegusus, and the one I found at lefthanders.

I am going to use a filter I found in Summit that has a 40 micron reusable screen and it flows at 5 gals per minute. Thats about twice the rate of the pump. The good thing is it comes with AN6 fittings.

Bill, my cooler came with AN6 fittings on it so the only thing I am going to have to use adapters on is the pump in/out. Those are really big oil coolers! They are both bigger than the one I have on my engine oil and it really works good. Oil temp is just a little higher than the water. On track I get to about 200F on the water and maybe 210F on the engine oil. 80F ish day. My engine oil cooler is mounted in front of the left side scoop. Good cool air flow there down the side of the car. If I have to I'll mount the gearbox cooler on the other side. This would really be the best location on the rear of the car but it makes the plumbing long. I don't like long oil line runs. Maybe just bring the air to the cooler and exaust it out the back.

The historic F1 cars I saw a couple of months ago had gearbox coolers on them that were 3" X 10". Mine is 6" X 4". Just about the same sq/in's

Still no answer from you guys in England about the temp sensor in the fill hole. Common..... I know you know.
