I have & I found the thread in tech but the pohotos are gone

mine sits flat about 1/way up vehicle between heater tube & closest longitudinal "chassis" , it works so well that it has been wrapped in light sheet aluminium since about April to keep oil warm enough, unwrapping again soon though

Please, I need drivers side window regulator (winder mechanism) for my '54

I found i had to put a alum plate over min in winter and wrap the lines in themo wrap to keep them warm, as it ran really cold.

I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!

For the oil cooler I'd say get something like an auto transmission cooler from any late model car from the wreckers. Would be a hell of a lot cheaper than buying new.

That's what the pressure relief valve is for in the oil circuit.
