I would be willing to bet youcould build your own for that kind of money. I personally wouldn't want the OP loss and road hazard exposure to another 30' of oil lines! I took an evaporator coil from a 1975 monte Carlo(harrison product) and had 1/2" female aluminum pipethread fittings on the orifices and mounted it in the rear air flow of the vehicle with a separate air scoop and ducting for the hot air out the rear. Using a simple adapter plate(some even come w/ built in thermostats), I had the right length stainless steel teflon hoses made(#8's) and you now have a cool engine. This was done to my Type IV, but could easily be adapted to the WB. Dimwitted Moose and Flying Squirrel. ---------- > From: J.

In addition to cooling the oil this system would increase oil capacity, a definite plus, I should think. The price was about 150dm. Does anyone know where something like this might be available in the US? > > Regards, > > Joe Stefanovich > > stef@cuci.nl > stef@lobo.net > stef@hempco.org
