Default Power Steering Cooler

I've seen a few cossies with a oil cooler in place of the crappy pipe for the power steering and while i'm still buggering about tidying the engine bay up before I drop the lump back in I thought i'd fit a cooler.
Where's the best place to get one from and what size is best?
I'm thinking of fitting it behind my n/s RS500 foglight grill is this the best place?
Cheers Rich

Try these guys.I know people that have used 13 row cores before for steering and with regards to where to fit it just needs to be in good air flow but not obstructing anything else.What will you use the car for?

I have just bought a cooler for mine, it's seriously hot in the p/s tank, hence the oil mist everywhere!!
I have a 17 row, 135mm wide, this will be going behind the bumper where the gap is in the lower part on the nearside, have made some plates to support it and to direct ALL the airflow from the bumper through the cooler, between the bumper and the arch liner area, opposite to the o/s where the washer bottle is.
