Hey guys I'm in the market for an oil cooler, I'll opt to buy a universal oil cooler because none of the ones that are available now have the color and look that I want, which is blue. Just want to know a few things first, when purchasing a universal oil cooler, what are the things that I must make sure that come along with the kit in order to make it fit on our cars? What kind of hoses etc anything spacific that I should keep my mind on or all of them are basically plug and play, and second of all what are good companies or brands that make universal oil coolers? Below is a pic of the kind that I want same color etc

Buy Z1 oil cooler kit and paint it blue, lol.

Usual is -10 size stainless steel lines, thermostatic plate, and from the looks of that kit, you will need to create a bracket or you could get a Setrab bracket to fit, I am not sure. I say 19 row minimum for the oil cooler core. If the stainless steel lines are not assembled or specific length, be careful on how you cut them as not to get the ends frayed. The rest should be plug and play.

BTW, depending on the fitting ends, you may or may not have to use thread sealant (AN vs NPT fittings).

Thank you, you can't paint I as these are iodized and not painted and the one in the pic isn't the one I'm interested in, just an example of what I'm looking for, any specific brand that is good and that dosnt require much fabrication or cutting?
