Anyone have photos of how the oil cooler mounts in a Sprite Mk II/Midget Mk I or similar model? Also looking for the plumbing connections to the motor. Thanks in advance
 
If you have a spin-on oil filter already adapted then the easiest way is to use a "sandwich plate" adapter between the oil filter and the adapter (temperature controlles one WON'T fit but regular one will).
If you still have the canister filter then the easiest way is to cut the pipe from the engine to the oil filter and run hoses from those cut ends (with several hose clamps on each end).
As for the oil cooler itself- just bolt it in front of the radiator and call it good!
