hi Gabriel,

the very first one I installed 7 years ago and per Chris Corkin
instructions I have the choices of not putting back on the tin or cutting
off the forward (front) portion of it.. since it's for a Syncro I didn't
cut it off but put it back anyway but it's a very very tight fit. Later on
I ordered a longer set of hoses (2 additional inches) and replace the hoses
because the short ones interfere with the OEM cruise control apparatus.
Later on I ordered a few more oil cooler kits for my other vanagons with
specific request with longer hoses. Since longer hoses are not part of his
standard production his has to custom made for me... so if you order one
you have to make a request for your application.

hope this help

dan
