issue fitting oil cooler sandwich plate
i've never fitted one of these so i assumed i removed the OE water/oil cooler (like on cossie's) and put new thermostat controlled sandwich plate and job done?? 
but i cant, if you look at the pic below
one is the OE bolt that holds the old cooler on, which has male fittings each end
yet the new one has male one end female the other,
it's as if i just attach the new sandwich plate to te OE one and just not use the water pipes
or do i have the wrong fitting???? or just being stupid
but i cant, if you look at the pic below

yeah, sorry it's my pug in the sig, with a 306 gti-6 engine
i cant use the OR bolt as the non threaded part is to long, and would not seal the sandwich plate

i was talking about the oil
but surely having 110degrees constanly heating water, is non effiecent??
surely it would be better to not HEAT the water with the oil
rememeber this is a TRACK car not a road car

Sorry it looked like a 4x4 cosworth set up!! You need to fit a threaded insert into the block(I can supply if needed), ditch the old oil cooler and fit the sandwich plate between the block and filter. The cooling pipes on the old oil cooler just need joining together.

Easy, As all the Iron blocks with the heat exchanger fitted use the fitting as in your picture and is one complete item, On the alloy blocks they still had the thread insert in the block, You can buy these from Pug for a couple of quid, If you need the part number drop me a PM (which i've asked )
