Just finished installing this unit (Part No. 677) and thought I would dump some pics and one or 2 pieces of useful info.
The first being that the mitsi has 5/16th oil lines and the new cooler has 3/8th!! so you need to get
the brass reducers from Pertek or autoBahn or SuperCheap. Pertek are the cheapest at about $5.
AutoBahn were $7.99.
So when fitting I just cut the Mitsi return pipe from the radiator at a point that gave me enough 5/16" hose length to accommodate the brass reducer, attached the 3/8" Hose (inlet hose to the new cooler) to the other end.....then plugged the return from the Davies Craig Cooler into the return pipe that goes up to the gear box.
(I took pics but it seems I don't have permission to upload them)
The picture on the instruction sheet is a little confusing because it looks like you have
to push the plastic cooler holders in from the back, but the text says different. So they are pushed through from the front. Easy as.
