Oil cooler

[Malcolm]

Has anyone seen a 2000TC fitted with the original oil cooler ? was it a standard fitting on early 2000TC's or just a rare optional extra ? Any idea where I might get one and do I need additional oil pipes / adapters as well.
(I have an oil cooler section on the bottom of my radiator but think that this probably belonged to an auto and is for the auto box oil rather than the engine. )

Merry Xmas & happy New Year to all

I have an oil cooler on the bottom of the rads in each of my 2000s (1969 and 1970). After years of oil drips, I blanked them off. I don't frequently travel in hot zones so I am confident, at the moment, in the resulting cooling conditions. The cooling pipes are long and armoured with a mesh screen. I had a set remade with the original brass fittings. One of the short pipes on the oil pump is replaced with one of the long hoses and the other long pipe is fitted to the hole at the bottom of the block.
