Hi, may I ask anyone for outside diameter of oil cooler (incl. cooling fins) and also for the width and height of the whole cooler (rectangle)?
I assume from the above that inner diameter of pipe is 1/2.
Many thanks for help in advance!

Early carriers had two pipes running through the cooler, later carriers had one single pipe, unsure of diameter though.

I recently learned this !

The threaded ends are 1/2" BSP parallel thread The pipes use Rotherham fittings (I think that's what they're called)
Some were made with the wire loops and later with the discs.
The 2 runs of copper pipe are half inch o.d and they sweat into a casting with the fittings (screwed??) into the bottom that the pipes connect to.
The outer fitting sits lower than the inner. I will post some photos later.
