Hi all

Long time no see as been working 100% on this project the last few months so not been about much




As Ted mentioned I fitted a cooler on my CB400F and here’s some pics of the final installation

Hope they are of  help

Best wishes Al

That's very neat Al, thanks for sharing. 
Don't suppose you can remember where you got the sandwich plate from, or what size the unions on it are?
I note it has a bypass drilling, so only a perentage of the oil flow goes via the cooler - have you done any oil temp measurements?
Cheers,
Brian.

Hi Brian

Thanks for the kind comment

Got the cooler and sandwich plate from here

Don’t bother with the braided hose kit that is offered as in the end it was easier to buy all the separate fittings and a hose kit from eBay and make up the required  hoses to suit my final cooler and sandwich plate set up / position as both my sandwich connections as you can see are at six o’oclick and then I have used two 180 degree bends to return the hoses back up vertically to the cooler

The kit I used was 3/8 (6AN)



Also did not bother with mounting brackets as thought they were a tad expensive so made a cooler mount at work which I think was much better

As for temps I fitted this as a pre cursor to the 460 engine I am current building as I was told by DM that oil cooling on the standard engine is on the limit so a oil cooler for a big bore engine was a must have

Best wishes always Al
