I know there are two types, i can't tell the difference exactly....

I do know they are not direct replaceble by each other.

You have to look at the lines for hydraulic oil, then you can keep them apart!

yeah there are two types. one has a longer pipe that runs across the front of the rad and down the passenger side over the gear box then onto the rack. the other one has two short pipes the go to the rack from the drivers side.

the one that goes across the front has a zig zag type section in it to aid in cooling.

hope this helps,

Phil
