Default oil coolers

im wanting to change to a 19 row oil cooler on my mk2 cossie escort,i dont really have the room in the front now tbh.what im wondering is can i use 2x13row coolers and use a t'piece then in to the sandwich plate?can anyone tell me if this will work and will it work properly and effectively.the reason im asking is i was thinking of putting 1 each side in the front of my rear arches on my x-pack kit.

Dunno but that MK2 looks the dogs!

Cant see why you suggestion above would not work though! Surely the oil is just passing through, the more time its cooled on it route the better. I presume you sandwich plate is thermostatic? You dont want to be over cooling when you pottering about.

I would imagine you would need a extra pump to reliably pump the oil that far through the car.

It certainly sounds like a good enough reason to spend a few £££ on some aeroquip though
