Oil coolers

(1/8) > >>

Scottish Badger:
Evening all.
Looking to fit an oil cooler when I install my rebuilt engine. Thinking slightly out of the box (and put off by prices for a simple offtake plate!) a CB650 Nighthawk has a very similar looking oil filter housing, and also a sandwich plate feeding an oil cooler. The seal for the sandwich plate is the same part number as the 400/4, so it has to be the same diameter.....  What I can't find listed anywhere is an adapter union to attach the sandwich plate to the engine, which leaves me thinking it's simply a longer oil filter bolt, hopefully the same thread as the 400's one but just longer?
Can anyone out there confirm this, or suggest any other alternatives?
Thanks.

K2-K6:
Look at 750 F2 (not the newer one that's not sohc) as that used a additional plate behind the oil filter housing as standard, just with additional fins in that example. 

Many of this type arrangement use a spigot/bolt that holds the plate to motor and moves the threads out to utilise std oil bolt for filter housing.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
A member here fitted one to his 400 - allankelly1 - might be worth a PM.

Scottish Badger:
K2-K6, you mean one of these? 
I really don't have much faith in that small amount of extra finning doing much, to be honest. [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

ka-ja:
My sandwich plate between filter and the engine is held in place with a longer version of the holding bolt instead of an adapter spigot
