Who's making the flexi hoses??
I can make them up and some pipe work too. I might have a spare set on one of my carriers to copy.

petr i made my oil cooler using an old finned oil cooler from a saracen which i took apart and reassembled using 22mm plumbing fittings to create the 90 angles and reducers at the pipe connection end. the whole thing only took a couple of hours and cost £4

Thanks all! Yes Rick, that sounds cool! I have source of finned pipes I can make cooler from, just need to know proper outer diameter.

Is it true that the oil cooler constructed with the folded over wire are true English carrier manufacture and the coolers using the discs are the Canadian style?

[Ben]

That's my understanding Andrew, yes.

For those that may be interested ;Pictures show the 3 different types of oil coolers used in Carriers. First is the English, next the Canadian MK1*, then the LP manufactured ones for Australia and New Zealand. The NZ LP Carrier ones were made about 15 mins down the road from where I live. The Canadian one has twin tubes junctioning into a single outlet / Inlet, the LP were two separate tubes and the English one was a single tube with the wire loops.Cheers Andrew.
