oil cooler, fix or buy?

Post by parby81 »

well i have taken all the engine out etc etc and am putting it back together.

One of the mounting brackets has been eaten by the rust monster!! Now do i try and repair/bodge it so that it stays on, or do i get a new one (courtesy of fallsofslowly!!)? I'm sure im not the only one who has come across this as they seem to be the flimsiest bits of metal!!

if i was replacing the oil cooler i'd be looking at at an earls cooler not an oem, purely for looks so it can be hid behind the fairings :smt002

Canble tie it on. It's such a common thing on race bikes as they're taken on/off so much that those brackets don't last seconds :smt003
