I was hoping someone could help me with my RMW oil cooler install. I've got the front end on my MCS off. I can see where everything is supposed to go, however I cannot seem to figure out how to mount the oil cooler. I've reviewed other manufacture installs, but want to make sure that I'm not causing harm to other components. Any suggestions at this point would be helpful.

BTW I'm located in Los Angeles, if anyone wants free beer and a lifetime of gratitude for install assistance.

 

Take a pic or two of what you've got to work with and we'll try to help.

 

I've attached three images to give you an idea of what I'm dealing with.

If I attempt to place the cooler under the bumper there will be at least a 1/2" exposure at the bottom, kind of freaks me out, if I catch rock it's toast. Again I'm unsure as to where to cut/modify the bumper if needed The mounting brackets similar to quick mount zip ties with an anti-vibration pad.

 

Why not call and talk to Jan at RMW? That should take the guesswork out of it.

 

Did that this morning. Was hoping to get an image of mounting locations. Was told by Jan to mount by air conditioner heat exchanger, now to crack open the Bentley.

 

Did the cooler come with any other mounting brackets? How long are the lines?

If I was fabbing up something, I would use some L brackets and mount it to the bottom of the bumper bar.

 

Would have said to mount it to the top of the aluminum bumper there, but that thing is huge! Hang it from the bottom, looks like the only place it'll fit.

 

So, this project turned out to be MUCH EASIER than anticipated. For anyone interested, the mounting brackets are these long plastic pieces that need to go through the air conditioner heat exchanger, just push them through the fins. You will need to remove two bolts holding the AC heat exchanger on, but after that it's very simple.

1. Remove bumper cap.
2. Place oil cooler in desired location underneath bumper
3. Score AC heat exchanger with provided mounting pieces (They'll leave a small mark) Using oil cooler as template.
5. Remove bumper.
6. Remove AC heat exchanger mourning bolts to access backside.
7. Place mounting pieces through backside if heat exchanger.
8. Snug down your oiler cooler and mount lines and oil filter housing.
