Thread: R380 convertion oil cooler lines....

In the middle of doing a auto to manual conversion fitted the reco R380 but the oil cooler lines have me at a lost.
From what i can tell most came with a loop pipe yet the auto has the rad ( female fittings on gear box end) in front on the main radiator. Is it best to get new line made up (not sure where) to use the existing rad or do i try and find a second hand loop pipe ? The car is a S1 disco 98.

Thanks

I've installed what i think is a Disco 1 radiator into my 88 RRC with a 3.5lt when i replaced the auto with an R380. I could not get a radiator shroud to suit the engine fan and radiator. The 2 piece shroud that came with the radiator was off center and would not fit. The cooler pipes also bent the wrong way to go into the bottom connection of the radiator. I managed to heat the pipe up and bend it to work. But i'd suggest getting a radiator, shroud and cooler lines from a late model classic if it is possible.
