Title: Hel Oil Cooler fixing?
Post by: Big Geordi on Wednesday, 12 April 2017, 06:58 PM
Hel oil cooler rubber mounting? I only have the cooler and top and bottom plates I don't have the 4 tubes are they needed? Thought mayb a Tap washer in each corner would sort  Rubber mounting,it obviously fits into bottom Rubbers on Frame what do peeps use for top mounts?

Now I'm sure I've read somewhere that you need to fit the four tubes to prevent the cooler from distorting.
You can buy anodised aluminium tube from B&Q :onya:

Having looked up various sites including Hel it doesn't look like the pipes either side are a requirement anymore??
Also finding it odd that no one else in 14 world has an opinion on mounting of said cooler,i must b the only one that has tried it? ;)

I've not seen one on a 14 BG, I think I have a similar kit on one of my gsxr's though, will be watching how you progress with this. Still not decided whether to upgrade mine.

Only just spotted this.
I have a Hel cooler already fitted on mine, not sure what you want to know though ?
