So I am revamping it. The oil filter bypass is coming off and I got a earl's in line bypass from Summit racing. A bit pricey (about $129) but 1/2 ID lines in and out (actually -10AN female), and it has a three stage bypass that as the temperature increases allows more and more oil to bypass to the cooler. It also has 3 1/8 fpt ports, so I can put the fan switch in on and an oil temp sensor in another and just plug the third. It is easy that the fan switch will be "in from the engine" but I am thinking the oil temp will be the return from the cooler.
Still toying with where to actually attach to the oil line. Under the engine will mean a shorter run to the cooler, but under the bonnet will be a heck of a lot easier to get to.
I have also raised the cooler and pushed it further forward. I am thinking instead of a metal plate for the "license holder" of fabricating a piece of oak....

unfortunately the picture did not show, just the link let's try again
ah yes, that shows. The only down side is I had to buy to 90 degree adapters for the oil intake to get it 180 degrees in the correct direction.
