  View original topic: Roof Mounted oil cooler and Scoop

does anyone know how big of a oil cooler will fit in most roof mounted scoops. I was picking through some of my forgotten VW treasures and found a remote oil cooler setup that came with a bunch of stuff someone gave me but had nothing to use it on. Now the the VW is gonna be a Baja I figure this is a perfect opputunity to use it. can I use it, or are there special coolers for just that application? I'm at work, (shh don't let them know :wink: ) so i don't have the measurements of the cooler available. I want to run a roof scoop setup because I think that looks alot better than just sticking it over the fresh air vents below the rear window. any help would be greatly appreciated.

i think there are a couple of different scoops available. i bought one at a swap meet once for 5 clams, it was too good of a deal! i've never installed it cause where i ride there are trees.....

just looked at the scoop, its a SRE brand and the cooler would be about 6" wide by 11" or maybe 12" long.

thanks, I'll check my cooler out and see if it falls somewhere in that area, and I see what you mean by the trees, plus it would suck if you rolled over, and who knows, first time in the sand with a bunch of dumb friends egging me on I can't make any promises :)
