DIY oil cooler mounting.
I know plenty of people have done DIY oil cooler installs without using a kit. I'm wondering if anyone has any pictures or general advise for mounting the oil cooler without the pre-made brackets. I don't imagine it will be too terribly difficult but it would be nice to see what others have done and what has worked or hasn't worked. Has anyone tried any ducting to increase airflow through the cooler?

I'm definitely going in front of the radiator for this one. It will be mounted on the plastic tray thing. I'm mostly curious how is good to month it on that and how much to brace it on the bumper. I've seen a couple examples but none that made me feel really onfident that was the way to do it.

I can't manipulate images from work but if you go to this post one can see how I mounted mine. I specifically didn't want it mounted to the plastic part. I used rivnuts in the bumper beam.

@Lunatic, with the front bumper cover off, it almost looks like there should be a guy playing a flame-shooting electric guitar strapped to the front of your car...
